Part of me thinks is this just performative nonsense that will always have enormous holes in it, like Prohibition. Scanning “your” face to prove your age is really just scanning a face. But I also worry about successive noose tightening.

I recommend Stoat, it can be selfhosted, open source, there is no shady company behind it, and it works well. There even is top-notch noise filtering, which I found very important for voice calls.

Shout out to Fluxer. Still don’t think its quite ready but its chugging along and its been fun following the progress. I know they have some big updates inbound. Hopefully people actually give it a shot and flip over to Fluxer. I’d also add that the “Proton” subscrition equivalent - “Plutonium”, is a better value proposition. But I will admit, they still need to clear a few hurdles before even I feel completely comfortable ditching Discord. But its Open Source and it has a self-hosting option, along with the Quality of Life you expect from Discord in terms of the app layout, screen sharing, etc.

Anyone looking for a lightweight self hosted alternative to discord might want to check out sharkord. Its less about large communities and more about a private space to chat with friends, that you have complete privacy and control with.

Yet the entire software community depends on it for everything

I’ve been using Fluxer and self hosting Fluxcord to sync my discord server with Fluxer, it’s going great. fluxer.app

It shouldn’t be up to discord or any other internet entity to verify the age of its users. Parents. Parents should be monitoring their child’s Internet usage.
