Agreed; Discord is trying to lull people into a false sense of security as a means of convincing them to stay, in the same manner that Reddit gave limited API access to apps like RedReader to stem the tide of users leaving for platforms like Lemmy.

Beyond age verification, if Discord is scanning a user’s messaging history to determine what their age is, one can only imagine all the other data valuable to data brokers that they are extracting from it too.

“Too late” isn’t even relevant anyway, they’re still doing it, so everyone should still be leaving.

A crisis entirely of his own design.

I wouldn’t call it a backslide—that implies policies actively getting worse—more of a slowdown.

There’s websites with paywalls that even Bypass Paywalls Clean can’t bypass. In cases that it can, it sometimes just fetches the article contents from archive.today.

They have historically been against the Common Fisheries Policy.

lemmynsfw.com is being replaced by fedinsfw.app. Their main community is !fedinsfw@fedinsfw.app.

Arctic is great, but it hasn’t been updated in over a year and will likely break with Lemmy 1.0. I’d recommend making feature requests for alternative Lemmy clients to have an app to switch to when Arctic breaks completely. Mlem and Blorp are my preferred alternatives at the moment.

There’s a typo in the title: 583 should be 585.
