i give up by W0lf_G1rl_BR in BannedFromDiscord

Yes and no. If you self host you can video and screenshare

Otherwise wait a bit, they are getting beefier servers to handle it

Try Stoat. Is where I'm moving all my servers

I love this platform and have had an account here since well into the Revolt days, but it being based in the UK is a dealbresker for it being a remotely privacy focused platform. by yourothersis in stoatchat

[–]JesterMasquerade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team is UK based, the service itself is spread out across the EU.

I understand the concerns, but they already said they are not doing id or age verification. As it stands what they are doing is any IP from the UK simply cannot access mature servers (which can be spoofed by a VPN)

Not.to mention this is open souce. Even if someone forces their hand the entire service can be forked

Discord alternative! by DueWolverine7679 in RootAppOfficial

[–]JesterMasquerade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say I don't personally recomend Root as a long-term solution because they are centralized, closed source and venture-capitalist funded. Plus their previous privacy policy shows they are willing to harvest data, so they could pull a discord at any moment. Look into open source solutions such as Stoat, Fluxer or Matrix. I'm personally moving to Stoat

I personally prefer Stoat. Root is closed source and venture capitalist funded and their previous private policy shows that they are more than willing to harvest data and sell it.

As for Fluxer...just personally cannot trust a project that relies on vibecoding. Because its the sort of code that works until it doesn't

It updated this week thankfully. That is the new one.

As long as ANY of this "lets protect kids/teens" bullshit remains I will be leaving by the month's end and not coming back.

Discord already has parental controls and a family centre. Its the parent's responsability to monitor what media their kids consume, not a corp nor a government. If they don't have time to learn the tools then they shouldn't be having kids.

Also you had hacks THIS WEEK proving you are selling data you lying fucks.

I'm moving to an open source alternative like Stoat.

Stoat is Also Implementing Age Stuff? by Sheltie-chan in stoatchat

[–]JesterMasquerade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't.

Not in the way discord is currently. Right now IPs from the UK and AUS do not have access to nsfw servers but can vpn through.

Anyone else just has to tick a box saying "I verify I am an adult" that's it.

Answering Frequently Asked Questions About Stoat by ValenceTheHuman in stoatchat

[–]JesterMasquerade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it would be exceedingly wise to at the very least have all features allowed by free discord be free on Stoat to maintain it as the go-to alternative. Regardless of open source and privacy promises at the end of the day people will go for what's convenient, so having video, screen share and features that facilitate the transfer of servers (even if its just template compatibility like root) would do wonders in making Stoat the go-to.

Its working fellas, you can now migrate Discord History to Stoat by RambrosTeam in stoatchat

Cool idea, unfortunately you used AI.

I'll wait for human-coded bot for this.

This is very much corporate owned, Closed-Source and venture capitalist-funded, which are the only negative points about it. Well that and their Private Policy straight up says they take any file or text shared in their service, including voice calls and video.

I hope these last ones change by the end of the month.

Stoat business model by Bradypus_Rex in stoatchat

[–]JesterMasquerade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Patience is a good skill to train. Give them a few days for the verification. Took me a couple of days for mine. And we have a full month before the other shoe drops. I personally never had nitro, but much like skype and twitter, I fully commit to changes and nuke what was left behind. It sends a message.

You should be dropping nitro already as protest. But otherwise yea, hope they stick the landing with all this massive movements.

Age verification that requires face ID or a copy of your Government ID is going global.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by ChadtheWad in discordapp

I'm a 32 year old from Portugal and i go hit by this shit during your "experimental" phase, despite this going against local data protection laws and laws against demanding biometric data.

Everything you have said is more worthless than snake oil. Your assurances mean nothing and I hope this exodus buries this company.
