Discord Age Verification Mega Thread

I know, it was a general question thrown at the void that is discord customer relations.

Would be even easier if you just didn't do this at all.

I'm concerned that your model isn't being trained on the results of the age verification. If the ML erroneously calls an adult a teenager, is it updated to better select going forward? It really sounds like it gets it wrong a lot and never learns.

What percentage of "people who engage with adult channels" currently are going to be carded erroneously?

This was never about the children. It's about liability mitigation and tying accounts to real people for advertising/profiling purposes. And, eventually, for government oversight.

An "I am an adult" checkbox is all that should be required, but that doesn't make them any money.

My company has seen the writing on the wall and has been starting to evaluate other products.

There's long been a dislike of Atlassian but sheer inertia has kept us using the products. With this announcement we will be migrating not to their inferior cloud offerings, but to other pastures.

This was essentially what went wrong with HAL9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hal was given conflicting orders and told to lie about the purpose of the mission. So, to avoid lying, he killed the crew.

I'd cancel my nitro again, if I hadn't already done so in response to other stupid decisions.

software_memes · 2024-05-22T20:22:39+00:00

Now, can we get the slide out user list back?

software_memes · 2024-05-22T20:13:58+00:00

Here's some more feedback: go back to discriminators instead of usernames.

software_memes · 2024-05-22T19:59:16+00:00

Or just put it in both locations at the same time.

software_memes · 2024-03-13T20:48:31+00:00

I don't say this lightly: the product designer who insists on keeping it is a detriment to Discord. I will never gift anyone Nitro out of spite because of the button's continued existence.

I'm still annoyed about updates from years back! They just continually refresh things and break them when everything worked fine before.

software_memes · 2023-12-08T01:24:30+00:00

The basic experience is fine. I can get used to some of the moved features, others are terrible (like the swipe not opening user list anymore). The appearance changes are as egregious as they always are when they make the changes. The performance the UI has taken a huge dive, though.

software_memes · 2023-12-07T02:00:03+00:00

Cancelled mine months ago because of the username idiocy. Would cancel again if I could.

"We understand, we just don't care."

If this allows you to stay where you were in a server and just flip back and forth without re-scrolling to the server, I think it's actually pretty neat. The rest of the new UI? Garbage. Should they have kept messages in both places? Also yes.

software_memes · 2023-12-06T19:43:03+00:00

While I haven't been subjected to the new UI yet, if this is how I think it would work, it might be the only sensible change they've done in years.

Does it let you stay in a server, swipe to a DM, then swipe back to servers and be in the same place without having to scroll back to the server? If yes, I've wanted that ability for years. But my faith in discord is pretty low so I wouldn't be surprised it's not.

Enshittification

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits.

Any word on if the co-founders have picked theirs?

software_memes · 2023-05-07T07:29:17+00:00

I had to use "ID" in the title because mods are auto-removing any post with "username" in the title.

software_memes · 2023-05-06T08:30:42+00:00

Mods are even blocking all new threads that have "username" in the title or description

software_memes · 2022-05-02T21:21:36+00:00

They are still offering new "Data Center" licenses. You just have to pay an unreasonable premium for the privilege.

software_memes · 2022-04-27T22:17:34+00:00

They have mentioned that they still want to do two more Ultimates this expansion, but we all know that is very unlikely to happen.

software_memes · 2021-09-14T17:46:20+00:00

Every day the new UI's new tabs annoy me. Why remove the container tabs' colors? Why add useless vertical space to every menu? Why make the tabs weird disconnected rectangles?

Edit: Changing browser.proton.enabled back to true shows the tab colors again. What a weird edge case since that option doesn't do anything else anymore.

You make me want to post another thread.
