Discord’s Second Attempt To Roll Out Age Verification Is Going Badly

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.

It’s a slop project.

Is this substantiated?

At this point for many projects it’s now depressingly, a matter of degree.

It’s not, people are objectively being retarded about this. They merged in the actual prod code base from the closed private repo that had the entire small team working on it for months. Into the open source public repo when as the first major refactor and functionally went from preview build to first real public beta.

A few million lines of code from a small team and a number of one of contributors over months of work on a brand new project is perfectly god damn normal.

The repo went from elevator pitch to real product in one go cause the work had been done else where.
