    Thanks for the reminder to delete my account!

    Well FU Discord. Over my dead body

    Not if I read it correctly: not uploading anything (and fuck you Discord) means I won’t get invited to view adult content, right? That’s it? And we’ll all be teens forever?

    Pfft. Whatever.

    only changes for the unverified:

    • Channels, servers, and commands set to age-restricted will be inaccessible
    • DM requests deemed "sensitive" will be inaccessible
    • "Sensitive content" will be blurred
    • Won't be able to become a speaker in "stage" channels, a special type where a few videoconferencers have a meeting where anyone else can watch and type but not videoconference; verified watchers can be invited to speak
    • DMs from unfamiliar users will be routed to a separate "warning"

    nothing else

    I think this is business as usual...

    I'm just gonna do all the tricks the kids did last time we heard about this. I'm gonna use some 3d model game character and just scan that bozo in if I can

    Can someone help me figure out if matrix/element would work for what I need? So far it looks decent, but my main issue is figuring out integrations/bots.

    Is there a way to integrate something like PluralKit there?

    [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

    I have many friends have that ported their bots from other platforms to Matrix, but these are technically capable people that created bots to begin with so YMMV.

    [–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

    I'm leaving the moment it's implemented.

    [–] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago (4 children)

    Some options:

    Use Steam groups, which has almost all the same core capabilities (voice chat, push to talk, image and other sharing, etc.)

    Create a teamspeak server if you have the know-how.

    Create or join a TeamSpeak server.

    Has Discord itself already proven that it is >18?

    [–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

    I heard it suggested that you can possibly trick the face scan using screen grabs of video game or tv characters. Anyone know if this is actually possible?

    that's a great excuse to finally delete my discord account

    [–] big_slap@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

    I set up a mumble server on my cloud computer, it isnt bad!

    hardest part is going to be convincing people to switch over. it was so difficult to migrate people from Xbox and ps parties to discord, but it is what it is lol

    [–] phillycodehound@piefed.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

    What possibly could go wrong? /s

    Grok needs to faces to turn into porn.
