If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won’t even mind this.
What would be the alternative for discord?
Matrix or mumble
Unless i have been using matrix wrong, wouldnt it be more of an alternative to whatsapp than an alternative to discord?
This is significantly worse than anything they’ve done
I don’t use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?
In addition to other comments, it’s a terrible replacement for forums. Information gets buried quickly, is hard to sort and search through, and conversations get scrambled.
it’s a venture capital-backed startup that has been very eager to exit its growth phase and enter its aggressive monetization phase so it can start making its shareholders some money. They’ve already tried a few things that didn’t work, like trying to turn it into a Steam competitor.
The service to date is mostly fine. If you’re like most people who don’t mind exchanging some privacy and control for access to an app that has a nonzero professional UX design budget, it’s pretty fantastic. But the writing has been on the wall for a long time that enshittification is near on the horizon. It’s not a question of if, but how soon.
Oh, the service itself is decent, up to great depending on your criteria. Pretty much never down, works well enough, etc.
It’s the privacy and bullshit behind the service that’s hated. Well, usually, some people hate the layout, and others hate the fact that it’s the default for so many people that it’s difficult to avoid.
Also don’t forget the walled garden. Some niche topics only have information and support on discord, which isn’t accessible to anyone like the general internet
Yeah, discord is excellent for what it was made: sharing memes and voice chat. But somehow it completely replaced classic discussion boards and it sucks at that.
It’s the privacy
I stopped using Discord way back when it always spun up my fans and made my phone hot just leaving it open.
