Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

    Yeah. In my experience it’s more complicated than Discord but not as complicated as the fediverse. But either way, even if we can use this as an opportunity to boost its popularity among techy people then that would be a win in my books. Hopefully one day someone will come along and make a front end for Mstrix thats as frictionless to use as Discord

      You’re more likely to see Wayland suddenly stop having in fighting and all simultaneously. Agree on every protocol going forward. Matrix having a frictionless client that is feature parody with discord.

      It’s just not something that is likely ever going to happen. Matrix as a concept basically makes such a thing impossible.
