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

None of the companies pulling this shit are offering a good enough product to be worth it.

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.

I just bought keys for my tiny kids and hosted a world for us. It was no problem except for the Microsoft part I Hated that part but once set up now it’s no problem

I’ve had some difficulty with the parental controls preventing my kid from joining my server on the same network. Microsoft’s parental controls are so overly granular yet incredibly unclear in the specifics, there isn’t feature parity between the mobile app and the web interface forcing one to download their shitty app to toggle certain settings, and it seems like even their documentation authors and support are unclear on how to set it up exactly

Vintage Story, soon Hytale bit for bit. Also there are just mods for Minecraft to circumvent chat blocks

TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago

anon5621@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago

People love sharing porn in discord tho. That’s why this is happening.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No. That’s the excuse for why it’s happening.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 weeks 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???
Bakkoda@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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.
iceonfire1@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Are platforms responsible for the content their users post? No. Rules for unusual situations (CSAM, terrorism, copyright, etc) have been established for probably decades by this point.
An online chat/message board is not comparable to an image generator because the company is not creating potentially harmful content.

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.

Google.com
Never let kids access this site, littered with porn access
Spaniard@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why do that when government and corporations can do it for them? It’s going to be their kids / property anyway.
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Why doesn’t twitter have to do this?
paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Because Elon Musk loves mixing kids and porn.
