No memes/shitposts/low-effort posts, please.

That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.

For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Discord requires ID verification. It is dead to me.

Not where I live

I think it is just GDPR. I uninstalled the shit immediately when I saw the prompt. Just like my reddit account.

They do it if they think you're underage and it's optional. If you don't do it, you can't see nsfw. That's pretty much it. They also switched away from the sketchy id checker. I'm not saying it's good, but you can avoid it.

Probably. But every server I was investrd in migrated, so why not ditch that horrible murican company alltogethet..

[–] andyc@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Understandable. I do think it's one of the better ones, but the bar is low.

[–] europeancricket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

To be fair, I wasn't an avid user. I had 2 or 3 important communities there that I was active in on and off for a long time. It wasn't a big sacrifice.. reddit feels bigger.

It doesn't, you just can't view NSFW channels if you don't. Which is a problem if that's something you want to do, but "requires" is a strong word.

Almost every server was nsfw tagged for nudity and profanity when they rolled it out. It was a shitshow. I have no interest. Same goes for Reddit now.

Edit: missing an N in nsfw botched my comment completely

Hmm, I'm at the server limit (in 50 Discords) and none of them were marked in that way. Some of them have NSFW channels that I can't access anymore, but I don't care about that.

Maybe I'm in different kinds of communities.

I heard a cousin of a friend saying if you connect via a Moldavia VPS there is no age verification for Reddit (there is, however, for Discord).

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

how else will I use it

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Ideally you won't, the requirement sucks
