The countdown until mandatory digital ID's for Americans is speeding up.

I’m sorry but to read this post you must first verify yourself with your
 Blockland Gold ID

Or do a temporary one time verification by successfully doing three one legged backflips while wearing clown makeup in under 30 seconds.

Thank God, kill discord.

We should all go back to Teamspeak

but but guys its ok, theyre gonna brown townyze your account behavior to see if you're an adult and if they think you are they wont ask for id verification!!!

i've had this stupid ass restriction for about a month now and i refuse to give them my personal info if it means it's going to leak like in october. afaik this was previously exclusive to eu users but they were giving it to a few users outside of it and i was sadly hit by it. doubt people are gonna move to another decent alternative (if there is one)

You all laughed at me, but now using the BLF in 2026 doesn't sound like such a bad idea, huh!?

yeah, people are too stupid with allowing their privacy to be trampled upon, so this will likely go over fine. my friends are being stupidly stubborn about just moving to stoat/ventrilo or something

I mean aside from trolling conservatives in comments sections on FB or Tiktok, this is probably the *social media* I use most rn

good thing this won't happen to the forums

discord has consistently gotten worse since it's inception, particularly the mobile version - and now this...

I'll definitely be moving to another platform soon

I just want a new service that looks like ripcord out of the box.

Reminds me too much of Slack. I don't want to be reminded of work when I'm on the game

[Dr.Block]

Joke's on you I'm so chronically unemployed I've never used Slack so that looks great to me

[Goth77]

Root seems like it may be a promising alternative, will have to try it out and see
