      @nina_kali_nina Interesting. I got a much more "we're doing this, but in as privacy protecting way as we're able" impression from their press release the other day.
      I'm satisfied I made the right decision regardless of how they presented it. (Closing my account).

        @GerardThornley I'm going to keep mine for now, as one-to-one chats are still not going to be limited, but *sigh* very predictable outcome, isn't it

              @nina_kali_nina @GerardThornley yeah like facebook, there's too many people i'm not in touch with any other way

              but it's more than a little annoying

              discord does its value proposition very well! it's a pity about the company

                @GerardThornley @nina_kali_nina the implementation they were using at the time of posting that is the k-id system as developed by OpenAge (and you can see reference to this in the source linked from https://age-verifier.kibty.town/). I haven't done an in-depth analysis of how that system worked but the blurb on its page _looked_ reasonable (but absolutely still pending analysis)

                discord is switching to Persona "because bypasses" (per a Taylor Lorenz tweet/skeet, didn't see article alongside it)

                  @GerardThornley @nina_kali_nina to be clear, not stanning any part of this, just trying to provide context on how/what shifted recently and how to read information seen both then and now

                  the whole damn thing is bad and should fuck off, but 100x moreso if they go with thielco shit
