If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
You must log in or register to comment.
See you guys in IRC.
Dalnet or EFnet?
Libera and IRCnet.
Is Dalnet even still around? I stopped using IRC way back in the day because they said they were shutting it down and it was really the only server I used.
Yes I think it’s still active.
I loved irc 20 years ago…i have no clue how to get back into it. How do you even find a cool server in 2024??
They haven’t changed that much. Freenode died and was replaced by libera.chat, but that’s about it. The other big ones are still around.
ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO IRC
Yes, they do. :)
And TS
i want to use IRC but nobody ever talks to me in there
Matrix is a better discord alternative
Back to TeamSpeak and Vent then
Vi sitter här i venten
Och spelar lite DOTA
Saw this on a porn website the other day🤣 these executives are retarded if they think I will do a face scan while my dick is in my hand
Shut up and dance
Insert verification dildo to continue
Ugh, you mean I have to take it out?
You could always scan your dick instead and let the computer interpret it as your face.
I will add googly eyes and see if it works
We could also just use pictures of Steve Buscemi, see how long it takes for it to recognize what we’re doing.
This is a good thing because it will kill discord
What competitor do you own stock in?
Ew
Guys, calm down, it doesn’t use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.
Facial Recognition systems have liveness features that make it impossible to just show it a photo.
Maybe a puppet then. Fun battle of tech.
If that’s the computing you want to do then power to ya. I’d rather the software running on my machine do what I want, rather than work around it doing what someone else wants.
I was being tongue and cheek. Age verification is stupid.
Oh shit, I gotta finish looking for that bot that will copy my discord channels and their content (pictures, links) to my matrix

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.
If by linux version you mean completely broken electron web app I suppose youre right
Canary has screenshare playing well with Wayland!
Thats actually surprising, when did they release that?
It’s their dev build. Been stable for everything i do so far. Switching back to stable once it’s merged and update released.
As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.
What a completely necessary and safe feature
I can’t find any remotely authoritative sources saying this. Who is this YouTuber?
The curse of Lemmy - YouTubers desperate for clicks posting shitty vids that contain enough information for a 1 paragraph article
Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.
Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.
youtu.be/watch?=Brodysseus-SLAMS-spammy-tubers
NTTS is someone I’ve watched for a while who spends lots of time looking at and reporting on upcoming discord features, as well as scams and CSAM material on the platform. He’s very clear in the videos when something is rumored, added to the client as a beta feature, etc.
I do not have a camera…so get fucked I guess. Ok discord…bye, you are easily replaced as a voice chat for videogames with friends.
I’m sure you won’t need this in your average server.
Are you joining dating servers full of teenagers and questionable activity?
I don’t join any servers. It’s a voice replacement for ventrilo, which I would consider using if I can get a music bot tos tresm music to everyone in the channel.
I don’t socalizetoutside of my group
Then you’ll probably never be affected by this.
Good to know
“Questionable activity” is an easily abused term for power-tripping assholes. Especially with right-wing politics becoming so prevalent world-wide, it’s easy (for example) to imagine a scenario where a group of LGBTQ+ types are targeted for harassment - being forced to choose between losing their safe haven or outing themselves & putting themselves at risk of far worse.
Like, your phone doesn’t? Or you choose not to also have discord on your phone? People can only reach you if you are sitting at your computer?
It’s a program I will only use on a computer when playing videogames. Discord isn’t a social thing for me, but a voice chat for my friends playing videogames.
Oh, interesting. That’s like the one feature I don’t really use it for. It’s weird how subtle differences in what you were around for can make such big differences in what stuff you use. Like literally everyone I know or knew my age is on Discord. It’s our primary social platform. I’m in like 30 servers and active in 10 of them. I’m in the discord for every game I actively play. And every game has one, I just assumed that was a common thing to do.
But seeing peoples comments about negativity and other stuff, I have never seen that on discord. So I guess it makes sense why I didn’t get pushed away from it. It’s all been incredibly positive and great gaming communities for hanging out in. I can help so many people, usually when I play a game, I get pretty into it. So I tend to know alot about it, and it’s nice to be able to help out people with questions about it. I don’t know where else people that aren’t in a games discord go to ask those questions, usually the discords are pretty huge.
Use Linux and emulate a Webcam device and feed it a video of Joe Biden.
Or just tell discord to fuck right off.
You only need to verify your age if there is evidence on discord that you are too young to use the platform
“Evidence” being so vague and malleable a term that it’s insanely easy to abuse.
What they consider evidence is if you say you are 12. Explicitely. It’s not in their interest to ditch you out of the platform for no good reason
Methinks you have too much faith in those wielding the power to demand this. Examples abound of assholes - anyone from forum mods to police officers - abusing their power against those they look down upon. Yeah, it often comes back on them eventually, but not always, and in the meantime the lives of those they target can be made a living hell if they so choose.

They do technically still offer a “manual review”, which is what they do now, where you have to take a photo using any kind of camera with your photo ID and email it… which isn’t really better, and can be very, very slow in actually regaining access to an account.
Since when do they ask for age? I remember you didn’t even need a verified email

Like what?
Of course nobody is actually watching the video.
If there was an article I’d read it, but I’m not investing any time into a bullshit video.
Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.
I used to use TeamSpeak. Very cross platform, as it should be. It still has great reviews although I haven’t dug that far into the privacy aspect yet
Mumble is an open source version of Teamspeak.
The fact that Teamspeak server is closed or restricted source means it’s going to enshittify eventually
