Ok, rare to see such an explicit kind of Great Filter / Idiot Test play out at scale, but here we go!

Anybody who is still using Discord after it requires you to personally directly link your drivers liscense or w/e to it, well, they’re fine with every government apparatus of any kind knowing everything they say and do on Discord.

Good luck to those glorious morons, truly, good luck.

You are going to need it.

Super, duper hope you’re not queer or trans or neurodivergent.

… you… think the 23 concentration camps currently being built by ICE / FEMA are … only for migrants?

Brown people?

Well you trust the current fascist regime a lot more than I do.

  First they actually came for the trans people, but the poem author didn’t care to notice because he was a Catholic Priest.

Here in the UK Discord has been requiring this for a while already. I never did the verification, because I don’t access any NSFW Discord servers anyway. Unless you use Discord for porn (or speak on “stages”, whatever they are), there is no reason to do the verification anyway.

  Well theres also the near certainty that they’re reading everyones messages with some kind of LLM agent that they say is their ‘system that runs in the background’ that attempts to auto-determine if you are a kid or not.
  
  Thats regardless of whether or not you also give them your ID or face.
  
  And, if you habe connected Discord to any other apps? Other apps that you maybe pay for things with? Or you pay for Nitro?
  
  They know who you are.

    Yeah absolutely, Discord is terrible for privacy either way. What I’m saying is that the verification “requirement” is not actually required for what I would presume the majority of people use Discord for.

    I have not used Discord in years, but I guess it would depend on what exactly consitutes NSFW chat or content.
    
    Like… how much just current modern news around Esptein can be discussed on a non NSFW rated discord community?
    
    I genuienly don’t know.
