If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
Ew
If they ask for my face I’m done with Discord my friends and I will find a new place to chill
I can’t find any remotely authoritative sources saying this. Who is this YouTuber?
The curse of Lemmy - YouTubers desperate for clicks posting shitty vids that contain enough information for a 1 paragraph article
NTTS is someone I’ve watched for a while who spends lots of time looking at and reporting on upcoming discord features, as well as scams and CSAM material on the platform. He’s very clear in the videos when something is rumored, added to the client as a beta feature, etc.
I do not have a camera…so get fucked I guess. Ok discord…bye, you are easily replaced as a voice chat for videogames with friends.
They do technically still offer a “manual review”, which is what they do now, where you have to take a photo using any kind of camera with your photo ID and email it… which isn’t really better, and can be very, very slow in actually regaining access to an account.
Since when do they ask for age? I remember you didn’t even need a verified email
I’m sure you won’t need this in your average server.
Are you joining dating servers full of teenagers and questionable activity?
Like, your phone doesn’t? Or you choose not to also have discord on your phone? People can only reach you if you are sitting at your computer?
This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won’t even mind this.
This is significantly worse than anything they’ve done
I don’t use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?
Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.
It’s the privacy and bullshit behind the service that’s hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it’s the default for so many people that it’s difficult to avoid.
Also don’t forget the walled garden. Some niche topics only have information and support on discord, which isn’t accessible to anyone like the general internet
It’s the privacy
I stopped using Discord way back when it always spun up my fans and made my phone hot just leaving it open.
Back to TeamSpeak and Vent then
Do you guys think that maybe we could fool the AI with AI?
I’d like to try to verify an account using a This Person Does Not Exist generated image, but I don’t use Discord at all
You can, a shitty deepfake will trick most verification systems, I’ve tested it in banks before
A smiley face drawn in MS paint could probably manage.
Typically they test videos, not images. So your AI would have to at least animate it.
If something like this happens, I’m setting up a Matrix room as something on the side for if people who work on the same project I do want out of this garbage.
Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?
I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.
I used to use TeamSpeak. Very cross platform, as it should be. It still has great reviews although I haven’t dug that far into the privacy aspect yet
I just fought tooth and nail to get my friends from Snapchat to signal, I dread trying to move them from discord to anywhere else
I needed my face, ID, and username to get unbanned (disco was convinced I’m underage)
Maybe it’s because you spell it “disco”
See you guys in IRC.

huh…sounds like an invasion of privacy.
good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.
nothing gained, nothing lost.

Of course nobody is actually watching the video.
If there was an article I’d read it, but I’m not investing any time into a bullshit video.
