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.
I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party
Daily reminder that Matrix exists and has many populated chat rooms
Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.
Guys, calm down, it doesn’t use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.
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.
Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.
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.
Oh my God it’s been so many years since I’ve heard of tox I set up a q-tox account years ago, then no one used the platform so I just let it rest. I think I have my identity key is still stored on my developer sync, I forgot that platform existed

I use signal with my wife and daughter for texting, does it also offer group servers? I keep in touch with most of my business customers through my shop’s discord server.
It does group messaging, it’s not the same as discord, but I’m not sure what all features you need in a group chat room.

As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.
bye bye!
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.

Ai being trained on more ai imaged
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
There goes accessing Stalker:GAMMA and tons of other game mods.
See you guys in IRC.
I loved irc 20 years ago…i have no clue how to get back into it. How do you even find a cool server in 2024??
They haven’t changed that much. Freenode died and was replaced by libera.chat, but that’s about it. The other big ones are still around.
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. :)
*sets up mumble server
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’m still incredibly frustrated they did that. I often heard “I’ll just text you” in reply to “I’m leaving snap”. Having an all-in-one app would’ve made that so much easier.
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.
Matrix’s protocol with revolt’s UI is what we need
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.
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
Articles are so much better than videos a lot of the time. I’ll watch a video for kinetic things, like how to flush my radiator etc.
Its annoying when information is in a video that could easily be written out and skimmed.
