Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

      If you really cared and could delete it without problem, it would have been deleted way earlier, no?

      I have a hard time believing people actually do these things.

        Nah, it gave me 10 different things I had to do before deleting my account. Also, no. I have my limit and it crossed when they chose to implement facial ID. I am missing it still, I am looking for something to fill the open group discussion it had for me.

          The problem is how will you do for most services and websites? They have support on discord for the most part (especially for coding stuff, or games)

            I don’t mind asking for alternatives. Once I put my foot down I’ll just work around it

          That’s the hard part really, finding a new group chat platform.

          My friends and I are switching to Matrix but finding a community there is gonna be a bit tough.

          We all become too dependent on Discord and now we’re paying the price when we try to leave.

        It was hard enough getting new contacts to install it and stay connected.

        Posted notices that I was shutting it down. Added links to a web page and a telegram channel.

          I personally just pulled the plug. Whoever might have cared can msg me through any of the other accounts
