ID check. This was also a few months after they had a major leak and hackers stole personal information.

They downplayed it but if it's like all the other social media platforms, it's going to be garbage.

I thought they cancelled.l the ID thing after the backlash. They are still rolling it out?

They have publicly rolled back this particular effort. It’s extraordinarily likely that this will resurface in a few months with a different coat of paint.

Not to defend discord, they’re plenty shitty, but the core ID verification premise may be out of their hands, based on the surge in legislation on the topic globally.
