If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
You must log in or # to comment.
getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…
Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.
As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.
I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).
Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.
Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don’t expect much convenience.
if that happens to me and discord wants me to send selfies to my self,Am going to Matrix and maybe use my discord alt to take to my friends who dont wanna use matrix.
Better start doing it now.
Tried that with my friends. They simply rolled their eyes and laughed.
its hard to do due to mentioned reason and btw i got banned from discord back in 2020 made a acc again in 2021 and i already use matrix
bye bye!
*sets up mumble server
See you guys in IRC.
i want to use IRC but nobody ever talks to me in there
Dalnet or EFnet?
Libera and IRCnet.
Is Dalnet even still around? I stopped using IRC way back in the day because they said they were shutting it down and it was really the only server I used.
Yes I think it’s still active.
ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO IRC
Yes, they do. :)
You know, revolt exists. Matrix is good but it isn’t the same experience as discord. Revolt is a pretty good open source copy of discord.
I used to run a Revolt server 3 years ago. The sound quality was beyond any other WebRTC service I had tried, but it was still in an early and it was lacking a lot of features. So, I switched to Element and Jitsi.
Matrix’s protocol with revolt’s UI is what we need
I just fought tooth and nail to get my friends from Snapchat to signal, I dread trying to move them from discord to anywhere else
Wow, good on you for achieving that. I had a few friends and family on signal, but after they dropped SMS support they all left, now I have no signal contacts anymore.
I can’t find any remotely authoritative sources saying this. Who is this YouTuber?
NTTS is someone I’ve watched for a while who spends lots of time looking at and reporting on upcoming discord features, as well as scams and CSAM material on the platform. He’s very clear in the videos when something is rumored, added to the client as a beta feature, etc.
The curse of Lemmy - YouTubers desperate for clicks posting shitty vids that contain enough information for a 1 paragraph article
If they ask for my face I’m done with Discord my friends and I will find a new place to chill
Enshittification guarantees a near 100% chance they’ll do it eventually, so you’re better off preemptively moving to an alternative sooner that later.
Back to TeamSpeak and Vent then

Och spelar lite DOTA
Do you guys think that maybe we could fool the AI with AI?
I’d like to try to verify an account using a This Person Does Not Exist generated image, but I don’t use Discord at all
You can, a shitty deepfake will trick most verification systems, I’ve tested it in banks before
A smiley face drawn in MS paint could probably manage.
Typically they test videos, not images. So your AI would have to at least animate it.
Ew
I do not have a camera…so get fucked I guess. Ok discord…bye, you are easily replaced as a voice chat for videogames with friends.
You only need to verify your age if there is evidence on discord that you are too young to use the platform
“Evidence” being so vague and malleable a term that it’s insanely easy to abuse.
They do technically still offer a “manual review”, which is what they do now, where you have to take a photo using any kind of camera with your photo ID and email it… which isn’t really better, and can be very, very slow in actually regaining access to an account.
Since when do they ask for age? I remember you didn’t even need a verified email
I’m sure you won’t need this in your average server.
Are you joining dating servers full of teenagers and questionable activity?
“Questionable activity” is an easily abused term for power-tripping assholes. Especially with right-wing politics becoming so prevalent world-wide, it’s easy (for example) to imagine a scenario where a group of LGBTQ+ types are targeted for harassment - being forced to choose between losing their safe haven or outing themselves & putting themselves at risk of far worse.
Like, your phone doesn’t? Or you choose not to also have discord on your phone? People can only reach you if you are sitting at your computer?
