    The moment this becomes an obligation for each person, no matter what, I’ll just quit Discord. I’m tired of stuff like this.

    If people want to do bad stuff, they will find a way no matter what anyway.

      there’s already real time AI aging filters, once they realise this doesn’t work it’s going to be IDs next, i’m so sick of this bullshit

      if a kid wants to find porn, they’re going to find porn, no amount of laws is going to stop them, but the more laws there are the more safe websites and online spaces to explore the new feelings will be inaccessible to them, leaving only the worst possible resources to be exposed to as they discover their sexuality. people writing those laws behave as if they’ve entirely forgotten how it was to be a teen, nor have met a teen in decades

        I mean at least in the US the median congressional age is 64.7 so yeah gramps doesn’t remember being that age much less having internet access. Doesn’t consider that you can’t find porn mags in the woods anymore.

          people downvoting you need some more context i believe

          conservative leadership’s bigotry isn’t just all yelling about gay frogs, there’s subtlety to some of their tactics. Two things are happening at once here - banning of sexual things, harsher punishments for sexual offenders, broadening the definition of what sexual offences even are, and sexualisation of LGBTQ folks, fearmongering, “think of the children”, implications that transgender people are all perverts (why else would bathrooms or drag queens story times be such big issues?). queer people are being pushed back into the margins, just their mere existence is being pushed to be viewed as “erotic” and “inappropriate for children”

          though obviously LGBTQ people are not porn, i hope that goes without saying, the same people who want to ban porn are the ones working very hard to paint queer people as somehow innately “adult only”

            Out of curiosity, why go out of your way to not capitalize correctly? Like ‘I’ has to be easiest in any autocorrect.

              i don’t have autocorrect on, i also don’t subscribe to the idea that there is a “correct” way to speak or write, languages are tools used for communication, if you can understand me without effort then i used the tool successfully

              i do capitalise things when it matters, for various reasons; to make a sentence easier to read, to show respect, to avoid a word being confused for a typo. but overall i just like the look of small letters better

                Very peculiar perspective denying the already established language standards of punctuation and capitalization… Autocorrect exists to show you the “corect” way.

                For anyone raised in a standard education system, there is effort to read comments like that. We’ve learned to pause, exclaim, incur emotion, and apply tension, all through punctuation and capitalization. Your comments are read as breathless long-winded statements for those of us who still subscribe to language standards…

                Thanks for the response, though.

                  that’s how my thoughts sound, that’s how i like my writing to look, i don’t care if not everyone likes that, you’re allowed to not like things

                    Yep never said otherwise… lol and you did say you cared in your first reply but I can see you don’t follow logic too well so I’ll leave it at that.

      For a brief moment, I had a a FB/Instagram account for testing purposes. After about a week, Meta started asking to see my face on camera. Needless to say, that experiment hit a brick wall.

      I was just following and liking stuff here and there. Didn’t even post anything, but apparently that was suspicious enough for Meta.

      Same, I still use it at around 15% of my own peak usage, if this gets beyond the testing phase, i’m out as well. Never trusted discords ownership and bussinessmodel, and observing their behaviour the last 4-5 years really cemented that as accurate. Bye, I won’t miss y’all.
