Has Discord itself already proven that it is >18?
I'm just gonna do all the tricks the kids did last time we heard about this. I'm gonna use some 3d model game character and just scan that bozo in if I can

I'm leaving the moment it's implemented.
Some options:
Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)
Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.
Create or join a TeamSpeak server.
Teamspeak needs to get off their ass and release the Teamspeak 5 server already
I set up a mumble server on my cloud computer, it isnt bad!
hardest part is going to be convincing people to switch over. it was so difficult to migrate people from Xbox and ps parties to discord, but it is what it is lol

suddenly not regretting at all quitting this months ago!
didn’t they have a massive leak recently of age verification pictures lol
I’ve already responded by deleting Discord from all my devices.
Hmm, guess I'm gonna have to spin up a chat service if this "teen" setting is too restrictive. The only guarantee I have is that anything given for age verification is going to be hacked with 0 compensation, I will not submit either my face or my ID. My account is 9 yrs this year, will they consider an almost 10 yr old account to be that of an adult?
Is there another good chat app like this? With similar features (only really need voice/text maybe pictures. Channels that won't vanish if everyone logs off)? Haven't been on IRC since 2k2, has it advanced since then? Back in the IRC days we used Team Speak (forget if it was TS or TS2 but on linux you had 0 restrictions on number of users).
What is the free and open source alternative?
There's Mumble for voice, text and images. The server is self hosted and there is no chat history so it's private. It uses Opus so the audio quality is very good without using a lot of bandwidth. For gaming, it supports positional audio and a HUD that shows who is talking.
For the projects using Discord for support, they should move to a forum.
Its IRC, it works, there is already a very mature ecosystem
Oof, I'm definitely going to lose access to some servers. Still, I won't give them access to my camera.
Can you save all chat logs on Discord?
GDPR should give you the right, but I'm not sure if they have a button you can click or if you need to email them about it

Maybe we'll be able to use death stranding or stellar blade here.
Does anyone know how to setup matrix?
It's extremely easy, the Matrix ansible deploy project is very simple to use (with at least basic tech literacy), is very well documented and as far as I've seen in the past few years of using it do deploy and update my Matrix instance - it's also very robust. I haven't seen it fail a single time, which tends to be a problem with larger Docker/Ansible projects.
I'm paying 7$ a month for a cheap server on Hetzner, you also need a domain name, and the whole setup took like an hour.
