@futurebird This is about ants, but it feels like a metaphor about neurodivergence.

@mttaggart On a more serious note, I could imagine them skipping age verification for accounts of a certain age. For example, unless someone created an account when they were 8, then a 10-year-old account would probably belong to an adult.

But other than that, they will surely feed everything to a big AI and have their fun with it.

@mttaggart "We analyzed all your private messages, public messages, server selections, active hours, and the level of excitement you feel at getting socks as a gift, just so we can validate that you are an adult!"

Yay, Discord, yay.

@tedmielczarek @b0rk And somehow the industry has also decided to call this progress

@b0rk I'm slightly shocked at seeing this sensible list described as "might be a little weird".

That is an excellent set of requirements!
