It also seems he can’t shut up about the Antichrist, too.
Spoilers: Its always whoever he doesn’t like that’s been in the news the most this week.
chaogomu@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A note to that, Thiel always says it’s someone who expresses empathy, compassion, or other similar sentiment.

Because it’s him? That would explain all the kids he raped with Epstein and Maxwell. And being friends with Elon Musk.

More like he’s good friends with him.

More and more things we give away because parents can’t be bothered to parent their kids. This is exactly how they win by slowly chiseling away our perceived rights until there is nothing left. I’ll certainly not participate in any Internet that requires me to shed my anonymity.
hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Okay, this has nothing to do with parents parenting their kids. It has 100% to do with the perception that the internet is dangerous and using that perception to collect information about people. That’s what they want, to put a name and face to all interpersonal interactions so they can use them for marketing and law enforcement.

Social media converted half of Americans into nazis in about a decade and elected Trump twice. If you don’t think the internet is dangerous, you’re insane.
That said, it’s easy to keep kids off instagram and TikTok without spying. Simply require devices to which children have access to block half the internet. Problem solved.

I’ll leave this here.

Read through the whole thing, you “lose access” to your stuff but it never mentions them deleting the content. Seems like the same shitty move Reddit did a while ago, “your” content in there is now theirs. Deleting your account just makes u unable to use/modify it.

@Willdrick @BrianTheeBiscuiteer there's a cool video on the subject at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5FbRfwMEuo
Basically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from "Deleted user" with no way to delete them.

Wooooowwwww. It’s being used for exactly what said it would be~
I know a lot if us are not even surprised the least, but i hope some of the head-in-the-sand naysayer motherfuckers wake up and learn something.
When they say the images wont leave your computer. Its because they converted it to facial geometry. They dont want the images because they take too much storage.
When they say they will delete it after processing, processing includes sending a copy to whoever else theyve agreed to share it with. Palantir, im sure here, maybe through an intermediary data broker.
I deleted my discord account immediately when the news of this face-check-age-check broke

Making the move to matrix, and hey it isn’t half bad. Convenience is a hard habit to break
Shaggy1050@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My friends and I are trying to. I’m having a heck of a time getting the server going though. Do you know of any good guides? Everything I’m seeing is from years ago and when I follow the guides i keep encountering errors.

Convenience as in “it’s what I’ve always used and I understand it” or are you noticing some awkward aspects?
CamelCityCalamity@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why not Stoat? It’s much more like Discord.

Why he is obsessed with Antichrist? He is gay does he think the extreme Christianity will think he is one of them?
BanMe@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Once you have a few million dollars, you aren’t gay or straight anymore. You’re just a person who fucks people. There is no community within him, there is no care or compassion for others, the queer community rejects him, he can’t be one of us even in name. He’s just a billionaire who fucks men. And they’re OK with anything that comes after “billionaire” by nature.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Don’t worry, he fucks everyone. He fucks his employees, he fucks his customers, he fucks government and he fucks the victims of his software.
vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
He’s a charlatan.
rektdeckard@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.

Oh, good. Discord’s age verification rollout has ties to Palantir’s co-founder Peter Thiel. That’s the nail in the coffin for me. It’ll be only Matrix for me from now!

Or XMPP or Stoat.

I prefer not to use centralized services.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Anybody here who have a good recommendation for something as simple as Discord with audio lobbies? I see all these recommendations for alternative platforms and software which mostly focus on the community/forum aspect of Discord, and not the things Discord was meant to be used for: talking with your buddies while gaming.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I used Mumble before Discord was a thing, but the self-hosting a server thing got a bit old, and required me to keep my PC on at all times in case my buddies wanted to play games and chat when I wasn’t available.
Willdrick@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Murmur (mumble server) is so light it can run on a smart toaster.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Teamspeak. It’s old and it’s still good. Uses no resources at all compared to Discord and there are thousands of free servers if you don’t want to host one yourself.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yeah? I’ve heard about that since I was young, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to enshittify for some reason. But I thought it was made by a company. Oh well, might give it a go. Thank you.
Yttra@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Stoat has vc, but I haven’t had the chance to try it with someone else yet.
victorz@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Any reason why anything not self hosted won’t be subject to enshittification down the line? 🥲
Clasm@ttrpg.network 2 weeks ago
Text has been a little sluggish with my tests. Might be due to influx of users, though.

I uninstalled Discord yesterday.

Delete your account too
squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There’s not really anything on that account, tbh. I only ever used it a few times to talk to friends when playing minecraft.
JustTheWind@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I love how mask off they were in choosing Palantir as their dipshit company name. Like, “Yes, hello, you are now calling Anakin Skywalker’s Daycare Service. Are you looking to enroll your child.” Bet our political elite would love that one.

So age verfication to protect the children or to create a menu?
Lag@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
To scramble and divide any organized communication just like they did Twitter and other social media.
Bruhh@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They’ve been telling “It’s for the kids” but it all makes sense now

It’s to “Protect the children™”
