    getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…

      Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.

    As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.

    I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).

    Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.

    Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don’t expect much convenience.

      I use signal with my wife and daughter for texting, does it also offer group servers? I keep in touch with most of my business customers through my shop’s discord server.

    If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they’d ban you and demand a phone number.

    I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.

    Use matrix or something better.

      listen we need to have a chat,

      you and me and some others on here understand using matrix and signal and whatever for E2EE chats. The people who use discord/facebook messenger/imessage/sms/whatsapp DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about this stuff. They are only going to use what is in pop culture. That’s how it is and i know it sucks, but people think its easy to “Get your family/friends over” whey they laugh at you and say “im not downloading just use x plz”

      The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We’ve had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it’s where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.

        Yeah, using authwalled websites is stupid.

        In my country politicians upload their policies exclusively on authwalled sites. The website just links to authwalled social media accounts. Its infuriating.

    You know, revolt exists. Matrix is good but it isn’t the same experience as discord. Revolt is a pretty good open source copy of discord.

      I used to run a Revolt server 3 years ago. The sound quality was beyond any other WebRTC service I had tried, but it was still in an early and it was lacking a lot of features. So, I switched to Element and Jitsi.

      Wow, good on you for achieving that. I had a few friends and family on signal, but after they dropped SMS support they all left, now I have no signal contacts anymore.

        I’m still incredibly frustrated they did that. I often heard “I’ll just text you” in reply to “I’m leaving snap”. Having an all-in-one app would’ve made that so much easier.

      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.

      Enshittification guarantees a near 100% chance they’ll do it eventually, so you’re better off preemptively moving to an alternative sooner that later.
