Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

      I’m still on discord, but that is because the main community I’m on it for is still trying to figure out what alternative to move to.

        You can try echoed.gg feels similar to discord and has decent moderation tools

    The fascist noose is tightening the world over thanks to proprietary big tech. We have to escape now while we can to open-source alternatives.

    Currently the best private (encrypted) and federated Discord alternative is Movim, which I highly recommend people switch to as soon as possible (the Dev is currently working on discord-like channels with rooms).

    For a more complete guide to swapping proprietary apps for safe open-source ones, I suggest referring to this post: https://slrpnk.net/post/23012609

      Dude I just spent 10 mins trying to get the thing to let me make an account. It kept saying my username didn’t fit the format requirements, but then didn’t tell me what the format requirements were.
