Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

What’s wild to me is that I’m not on corporate social media, and the outrage has absolutely exploded on Mastodon and Lemmy. I wonder how bad it has gotten on the corporate media sites, because there’s no way the algorithm hasn’t noticed it.

It reminds me of when OnlyFans (stupidly) told us all they weren’t going to allow porn anymore, as if that wasn’t the core of their business.

I haven’t even heard about it on Discord itself.

Anecdotal obviously, but I’m not sure it’s a big news story on corporate media sites.

  They posted it on their Facebook page, there’s a sizeable backlash there too.

  Huh, wow.
  
  Could be I’m wrong.
  
  It makes sense that it wouldn’t be story on corporate news sites though.
