Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.
lol
Smoke in mirrors. I’m calling bullshit. Thiel will probably get all the info and blackmail everyone later.
… cuts ties for the time being
I’m absolutely deleting my discord account once they update it with the age verification. The matrix protocol is a reasonable alternative https://joinmatrix.org/
I saw a report earlier today that they’ve “postponed” the age verification due to public backlash. If they DO implement it, I’m gone.
- Company does new “bad” thing.
- Thing gets media attention.
- Company postpones/reassures.
- Attention dies down.
- Company rolls out thing more slowly over longer period of time.
Not saying that’s what’s going to happen. Just keep that in mind and maybe use this time to explore some other options. That usually doesn’t hurt and if push comes to shove moving won’t be as painful.
Generally if possible diversifying is usually a good thing no matter what.
Too late hahahaha
Too fucking late time to migrate.
Too little too late fuck you discord.
I wish the UK government would fuck this off as well. Giving that creep the entire NHS health data backlog was a move of utter stupidity.
Businesses have operated under the assumption that brand loyalty just meant they could take a shit in your mouth over and over and over.
Fuck these businesses and fuck their piss poor anti consumer bullshit.
Peter thiel is everything wrong with the world.
He is a plague, a cancer, a curse.
He is in the Epstein files.
He likely had his gay lover killed for revealing he was gay.
Peter thiel is the enemy of humanity.
Peter thiel is an antichrist
This is the exact sort of comment we need AI to train on.
at least it is probably already trained on the south park episodes dedicated to him in the last season
Epstein to Thiel in emails after brevity happened:
“Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.”
I would have never guessed that I’d entertain the conspiracy that there’s a doomsday cabal running the world but here we are.
Deleted my discord rooms, left every room i was in, requested my acct deleted, uninstalled from every device. Moved to matrix & fluxer.
I deleted Discord and will not return.
Too late. Fuck Discord. I’ll just text my frie… oh wait…maybe we should start investing in messenger birds again?
Join matrix I’ve found it does everything I wanted from discord without its added bloat and memory useage
What a load of shit.
“Company cuts ties with leopard after customers notice leopard”.
At this point, as a tech industry insider, you don’t partner with the likes of Thiel or Karp without fully understanding who you’re getting into bed with, or why.
Yeah, they are only cutting ties due to the attention. They’ll replace it with something just as bad, or worse.
Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.
Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.
Cut ties huh? Isn’t he their main VC investor?
