We've ditched Discord for Matrix.

Thanks, stranger!

I believe element will let you preview. But you do still have to be signed into element.

You can just sign up on any of the many free matrix servers. Usually just requires an email. But here is your preview of what it looks like in ElementX/SchildiChatNext

On top of the mounting enshittification they've been undergoing in recent years: they opted in to perform age verification processes worldwide utilizing face scanning and/or ID submissions and/or data scanning to verify age.

But then, whatever this reality is comes crashing down on me and I return to being sad
