'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives in c/technology@lemmy.world

The eID can do this EU wide already but it's usage is regulated and that's not something a company wants to accept. The EU Digital Identity Wallet would hit the spot even more, since it's very privacy friendly: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/spaces/EUDIGITALIDENTITYWALLET/pages/930450954/The+Age+Verification+Manual

That's still in testing though and even less in the interest of a company that wants to extract as much user data as possible.

So do "Smart TV" apps. Or messenger like Signal. That is really a common thing nowadays.

Coming from IRC it always baffled me why people on Discord would talk about servers and channels too. Especially servers. It still irks me when someone says "Join my Discord server".
