  Minecraft, though…

  And no, VoxelLibre is not a good replacement. They need to fix their UI first so it doesn’t look like a 2004 app

    Minecraft Java is (now) a source available(I dont know if thats the right term, but new java edition versions are now completely deobfuscated.) game where anyone can either play offline or spin up their own server to play multiplayer, even with no connection to mojang’s servers. I dont think its a big concern. There’s already a mod for Java to just remove the age verification.

    Also, there isnt really an alternative for a game. There are only other similiar in genre games.

    • TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Yeah, but you can’t play on whitelisted servers if you pirate Minecraft

  People love sharing porn in discord tho. That’s why this is happening.

  • Bakkoda@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No. That’s the excuse for why it’s happening.

    • paraphrand@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Ok, let’s say it is. They just want to invade our privacy. Now set that aside.

      On a separate topic: What’s an alternative solution for the “there’s porn on the playground” problem that discord has? They are participants in it, they are facilitators. They shouldn’t be immune. Giving platforms a pass on things like this is pernicious. Giving platforms a pass is why Elon Musk thinks he can get away with CSAM generators.

        I’m sorry are we putting aside biometric infomation being aggregated across multiple platforms and assigned to browsing habits so that governments know exactly where you’re browsing at any single moment?

        Are we just putting that aside???

        If discord can’t handle it don’t blame me. I mean what even is this point???

        Boycott the platform. No one’s gonna rescue the end user anymore. There’s no more oversight. Remove yourself from the ecosystem and encourage healthier alternatives.

    Parents should try parenting for once instead of relying on the government to (use them as a thinly veiled excuse to) implement draconian monitoring on their populace.

      Right, it’s weird that parents let kids play on platforms that have porn on them.

      • arrow74@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        Google.com

        Never let kids access this site, littered with porn access

      Why do that when government and corporations can do it for them? It’s going to be their kids / property anyway.

  • UnspecificGravity@piefed.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Why doesn’t twitter have to do this?

    source

    • paraphrand@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Because Elon Musk loves mixing kids and porn.

      source

      • Taldan@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        And he’s politically connected enough to get away with it. Discord isn’t

        He likes his Twitter users how he likes his scotch.
