Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.
The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.
Exodus to another discord-clone. Great.
We need more than a discord clone. We need something that is structurally capable of avoiding these kind of top-down attacks. We need something decentralized. I think something using the matrix protocol would be a good fit
Matrix is good but not as simple as discord. Lots of users aren’t going to like it.
Yeah. In my experience it’s more complicated than Discord but not as complicated as the fediverse. But either way, even if we can use this as an opportunity to boost its popularity among techy people then that would be a win in my books. Hopefully one day someone will come along and make a front end for Mstrix thats as frictionless to use as Discord
You’re more likely to see Wayland suddenly stop having in fighting and all simultaneously. Agree on every protocol going forward. Matrix having a frictionless client that is feature parody with discord.
It’s just not something that is likely ever going to happen. Matrix as a concept basically makes such a thing impossible.
I have hope. There are ways to design the front-end that smooth over the technical aspects for non-technical users. The mastodon sign-up page is a good example of this.
why is nobody talking about teamspeak 6? Is it bad?
Team speak 6. Still is missing basic features and has had quality of life and basic features open as requests for ever at this point and it’s unlikely it’s ever going to happen.
Teamspeaks six’s devs have also just pretty much made it clear they aren’t really trying.
If it works for you as it currently is great, it’s acceptable and it’s fine. It’s team speaker works. But just like back in the day with TeamSpeak 3. The devs are slow, they don’t do anything and they don’t want to do anything. It’s been a problem with the app literally since day one.
