The social platform is testing age checks using facial scanning for access to sensitive content.

    True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.

        All it took for me is discord going down for a couple hours a couple of weeks ago. Now about half my friends went to it. All it will take is a small push or down time and they will need their fix somehow lol.

        Also my SO.

        And my every friend.

        And we use Jitsi for calls during gaming or whatnot.

      SimpleX doesn’t even have a desktop client. Discord is mostly used for gaming.
