Just go to a platform that respects privacy ffs
People can't really move their entire communities, be it big servers, or friend groups, without everyone agreeing to. It's not that simple. Unless it becomes literally unsafe to stay on Discord, people will probably find ways to bypass this stuff.
It is literally unsafe. They will leak your government ID or your face scan. Do not stay on Discord.
I haven't been prompted to do that yet, and if I am, I'm not giving them anything unless I have a way to spoof it.
So you'd rather stay in an abusive consumer relationship than go somewhere that simply does not violate your privacy? Ok.
That wouldn't work for me because I would have to convince the college club I'm in to all move over to some random service they have never heard of. There's no way I could possibly do that without some push back due to us having a working solution.
Stoat is like 1 to 1. Yeah the hug of death has them right now but my servers are all already migrated and it was pretty painless. I'd recommend that rather than trying to bypass whatever Discord throws at us again and again until the sun explodes its best to leave now.
