    I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party

      Social media are more and more required by law to prevent kids from using their service. I don’t see a way to achieve that with no risks to privacy.

        I couldn’t imagine an AI model will be very accurate of being able to identify a 11 year old vs a 13 year old. I assume this is more to try and vett whether they can access NSFW channels or not, but honestly since humans can’t properly vett that, I don’t know how an AI is supposed to reliably do that.

        Think of it more like Lemmy, do you need to self-host a Lemmy instance to create a post? A community? No, and the same goes for Matrix.

        The only reason to self-host Matrix is if you want to. You can create chat rooms on pretty much any server you like.

        Why would you assume this? There’s plenty of servers available and conversations can still be encrypted.

        Voice chat is extremely lacking, though.

        I personally use Matrix.org so I can just set up a chat room and itll be hosted there. Of course if you want to self host a matrix instance for you and your friends thats an option, or some of your friends can use the self hosted instance and some other instances (Matrix is a federated protocol).

      Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.

        The big issue they’ve had, imo, is that there’s too many bots and too many IRC bridges from stubborn oldies who refused to migrate away from IRC.

        There was a time when freenode went down that many channels were experiencing an exodus, which would have been the perfect time for Matrix adoption, but people were far too stubborn with IRC despite its many flaws (privacy, lack of history, poor feature set, etc.)

      Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.

    I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).

    Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.

    Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don’t expect much convenience.

        Yes, you can also share a server link and use a username therefore not needing to share your phone number, for bigger group chats

        It does group messaging, it’s not the same as discord, but I’m not sure what all features you need in a group chat room.

    If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they’d ban you and demand a phone number.

    I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.

    Use matrix or something better.

      listen we need to have a chat,

      you and me and some others on here understand using matrix and signal and whatever for E2EE chats. The people who use discord/facebook messenger/imessage/sms/whatsapp DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about this stuff. They are only going to use what is in pop culture. That’s how it is and i know it sucks, but people think its easy to “Get your family/friends over” whey they laugh at you and say “im not downloading just use x plz”

        Here’s the thing… People who care still use Discord. I’m one of them. I have no other option for maintaining communications with a group of 20 people I have been gaming with since 2009. We’ve all hopped from Skype to Teamspeak to Ventrillo to Discord. There’s no going back for many of these people.

        Like it or not, Discord offers a product that Signal, Briar, or any other Matrix chat offers and that’s accessibility. I would love for a mainstream E2EE chat program that actually can host a 15 person call, hold multiple chatrooms in one server, allow screen sharing, streaming and multimedia sharing.

        We can’t just live in a vacuum and claim nobody uses these programs because they’re stupid or don’t care. For many, like me, Discord a reasonable security risk people are willing to take in order to maintain communications with people they care about.

      The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We’ve had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it’s where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.

        Yeah, using authwalled websites is stupid.

        In my country politicians upload their policies exclusively on authwalled sites. The website just links to authwalled social media accounts. Its infuriating.
