Technology@lemmy.world•Discord walks back age verification fears for most usersEnglish
31·5 days agoThe company’s deploying AI-powered inference to estimate user ages based on behavioral patterns, account history, and other signals already in its systems. Only when that automated prediction fails or flags uncertainty will users face requests for manual verification through ID uploads or facial scanning.
Oh, so it’s even easier to game it and pretend to be “an adult”. Simply avoid any minecraft and roblox communities to be an instant adult.
Discord didn’t specify exactly what percentage constitutes a “vast majority,” nor did it detail which signals feed into its age prediction models. That lack of transparency could become its own issue as regulators increasingly scrutinize how platforms handle youth safety versus privacy rights.
Big brother is watching you masturbate, for your own good, of course.
For the subset of users who do get flagged for manual verification, Discord says it’s partnering with third-party services that specialize in age verification tech. These vendors typically process ID documents or facial scans without permanently storing biometric data, though implementation details remain vague.
It’s not permanent storage if they delete after safely selling to interested buys!
As lawmakers ramp up age verification requirements globally, expect more platforms to walk this tightrope between compliance and community trust.
I wonder if this is what might actually push more people into “host your own shit” that’s easy to shut down and migrate as needed.
Trust the vibe, bro, if it was wrong it wouldn’t vibe like that bro
Implying that’s not their kink in the first place
Gotta protect whoever’s behind him with high speed steel plate to the face

Happened to a number of FOSS projects. At least forking and “starting” anew is easier

3·7 days agoI found it really odd that your server has to get a registration key from their server
Huh, I didn’t know that, maybe that’s only with the docker image? If not, that’s bad news waiting to happen, I’m afraid :/

2·7 days agoYou can buy companies, organizations and people that run FOSS projects, thus buying the project. Audacity was bought and enshitified. SimpleApps suffered a similar fate on Android.
In both cases, the community forked the last “good” version and renamed the project

11·7 days agoRocket.chat would be my first recommendation, tho it looks more corporate aimed. It also claims to support Matrix federation.
You could also give Jami a try, it’s p2p so it doesn’t need servers.

1·7 days agoWish DeltaChat would work better.
Or that Jami would properly look for new messages after a user configurable amount of time - sometimes it’ll only do that if you restart the app
















Did you two fuck afterwards?
