Tbh for that use case this changes nothing, it’s a horrible change for all the usual reasons but it’s only implementing the stuff that was already the case in the UK for everyone. So age verification is needed for servers that set themselves as 18+ and for nsfw channels (and there might be some ai image scanning bs to determine if sent images are nsfw?), but for just talking to people you can supposedly still use it without age verification.
Still, it’ll probably get worse eventually.

I finally got my parents onto it, and have been pretty happy with it as an alternative to Facebook Messenger.
