I ain't scanning shit.
Teamspeak, Steam groups/chat, etc.
I knew discord would go to shit after going public but even I didn't predict it would be this fast.
You can thank Roblox for this shit.
Tbf statistical calculations put grooming on discord in the higher percentages unfortunately.
That said I don't get what their endgame is. Blanket ID verifications will clearly eat into their bottom line, making it unsustainable. Either there's some limits on it that I'm not aware of or they just budget in a huge decrease in margins.
I just don't get the logic of "we do it to fight grooming", because it just doesn't make sense timing wise, but "we do it because UK and Australia are making us do it anyway" also doesn't pan out because I just cannot imagine the predicted results look manageable.
The results are kinda obvious regardless. Losing their core audience and subsequently twisting their bottom line, just like Facebook.
That's fucked
My life is on there, and I ain't gonna give them any ID. Wth do they expect me to do
They expect you to give them all your data
They already have if their entire life is on there
Steam groups now work like discord. We're migrating there until I figure out how to host a server of Teamspeak or Mumble.
