Two things:
1. We are creating a two-tiered internet that will see people willing to give up their IDs having one experience while those who canβt, wonβt, or donβt have them missing out on those experiences or being outright excluded from whole areas of the web2. Why you would be willing to give up your ID to web services that have such poor security in a time when identity is being weaponized by state actors is beyond me
@Ashedryden astute.
This really is the start of a a two tiered internet. π I just wonder - will the majority of folks go for this? In my heart I feel like they will. To appear βnormalβ will be to completely give up all online anonymity. (As if we had that to begin with)
The implications of this will be felt in the short term, and I wonder just how many I.C.E detainments (here in the U.S) this will lead to.

@Ashedryden I've felt this.
I've been searching for alternative ways to get music only to find albums don't get sold anymore; it's always Spotify.
It's a crushing pressure from the industry. FOMO to the max level.
I'm stubborn and I can take it, but most people - especially teenagers - don't have what it takes to resist the encroachment of techno feudalism on entertainment.
And I even miss hearing my old music.

@yuki2501 @Ashedryden Time to break out that piratebay.

@Ashedryden Instant account deletion for me. There's no way I trust random platforms with a copy of my ID.

@Ashedryden oh yeah, no. I was literally just thinking about how I've never really gotten the hang of Discord. The signal to noise ratio is just so far off, I just kinda forget it exists.
I'll definitely be peacing out on that one.

With all that is always happening, at this point I assume state actors are pushing it.

@KanaMauna @Ashedryden "State actor" is a peculiar way of describing the legislative body of a country, but it isn't wrong. -

I think for a lot of us this is already the case that we just donβt computer the way the majority do: we donβt use the same OS, applications, browsers, chat apps, social networks, search engines, media, or even read the same news.
We interact with corporate silos through sock puppets. Which ID laws will close that loop. And weβll be forced to decide if we want to keep a prescience on that side of the wall at all.

@Ashedryden if its done right they will be using federation with an identity provider whom people do trust, but I doubt that will happen as identity in itself = $$$ in the marketing world.

@Ashedryden But why on god's green earth would you want to use Discord?

@KanaMauna @Ashedryden
Thats quite sure, states are either already fascist or at least having actors preparing that way, making sure that people are anywhere ever identified is very important for them -
@Ashedryden I wish people could of ALWAYS seen this coming.
@Netraven @Ashedryden those with so-called "Cassandra Syndrome" could have warned of this, but are, alas, cursed with being ignored.
#actuallyautistic @autistics -
@Ashedryden teamspeak is great for voice, but someone NEEDS to make a better alternative for chatting. i haven't found a platform that works nearly as well as discord, and it sucks.
@mochabeau @Ashedryden Agreed, as to the need for a better alternative, however the "QOS rules" conundrum is very difficult to solve:

@Ashedryden Fully agree with you on 2.
As for two-tier internet - ever since some clever clogs came up with the magic word "premium", segregation was born. Not too many complaints neither, looks like. -

@d1 @Ashedryden is that an issue for chat, though? i got voice calls down great, its the roles and level of categorization over messages is what i miss often

And someone is going to make a random identity generator page of any country you choose and random faces of different poses. Complete with random lists of where you went to school, first pet, etc, in a printable fact page. What are they going to do, try and verify?

@mochabeau @Ashedryden well, maybe #Zulip? Or #DeltaChat, if you really want end-to-end encryption of group chats (but no control of roles)? #XMPP also has good group delegation, but the #OMEMO encryption can have less reliable delivery in groups, with various members disappearing for spells of time.

@mochabeau @Ashedryden as to teamspeak, I would personally try to find something #OpenSource
