Please, pretty please, be the spark that will stop OSS projects from hosting their "support forums" on Discord.

I wish it was only limited to support forums. I've even seen a Linux kernel driver where the Issues sections was closed and you should go to Discord instead. No thanks.

It's horrible. We already had that stuff figured out. Wiki pages and forums to make information accessible even after 20 minutes have passed. Fuck that development and everyone that was/is pushing for that.

What features did they exactly disable for unverified accounts?

You are treated as a child, literally, so no nsfw stuff. I think no advertisements as well.

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No advertisements seems like a bonus to me

"Give us personal data or we won't be able to monetise every waking moment of your life" seems like a real silver lining. I wonder if they then can't legally do certain marketing things because the user isn't age verified?
