Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select message requests.

      I hope people using fake IDs to bypass it becomes common knowledge. Felony or not it’s effective and the ID verifying part isn’t.

      Drop anything that’s not opensource and federated, except if you want to live the enshitification process over and over.

      Matrix might be the closest to Discord. XMPP should also be considered.

        I’m still trying to understand why XMPP isn’t more widely used. Probably the whole no single centralized service thing like most other federated protocols/services

      Zulip is great for text based communities, but doesn’t have built in voice or video.
