Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

Well, I don't believe you.

Also, you should learn what trust is and how that works.

Trust isn't on then now. They won't learn what it means until the customer demonstrates what trust means. The trust is gone on our side so leave the platform. Rip the bandaid off. Get off social media. Get off shitty streaming services.

Do it and do it now.

Got it, cancelling my Netflix now, that will show er... discord? Somehow.

I get what you're saying, but I also don't pay for discord, so it's not like they'll care if I disappear.

I think you’re missing the point. The idea isn’t that leaving Netflix would affect discord; but rather that we should tie an exodus from discord to the rest of the de-cloud movement.

In other words, quitting discord won’t solve the root cause of why discord went to shit. The root cause are cartel-like cloud companies that are trying to gain leverage over society as large. The only way to reasonably solve it is to stop participating.
