I personally don’t because while I switched to Linux because Windows got too shit I am the only person I know who did that. No one else has switched at all and I still have to go back to it to use it for things that I can’t do on Linux or don’t work nearly as well. So I would much rather use Discord in its current state not with the dumb age verification thing with the people I currently use it with. I would love for there to be a popular alternative that is actually good but I don’t know of one.
Because parents do not want to deal with monitoring or taking care of their children. You can limit apps etc on PCs and phones easily with parental controls and no they are not perfect but parents are lazy or too incompetent to figure it out.
You are not wrong, but then a large portion of the US glorifies being stupid and sees any sort of education effort as some sort of freedom destroying conspiracy.
The whole internet is adult-by-default, so why are we doing any sort of age verification?
But please Discord, keep ruining the platform, cause an exodus.
Except trans children. Don’t think of them. Apparently.
Hoping discord pulls a windows and enshitifies so completely that people finally abandon it

Sounds like a lack of education. The focus should be there, not age verification.

Yep, huge portion. Sucks.
