    They lied then They said they weren’t saving the pics, deleting them when verification was done.

    I wish there was a Discord alternative

          /me looks around at his multiple IRC servers…

          “Huh, I didn’t know you guys had (aparently) died.”

      If you want to just text-chat and/or voice-chat with some friends, Element(Matrix) works well

      But if you’re a gamer looking for bigger communities, I don’t know one

          I didn’t try to find people on it, I only managed to convert my (real life) gamer friends

          Converting my non-gamer friends will be hard, they’re still on SMS/MMS or worse (Whatsapp)

      Oh, they did that? That’s IMHO a thousand times worse than just getting hacked…

      May they get beaten to pulp by privacy lawyers in court.

      Revolt is an option. But it needs people and communities.

            Is it stupid to adopt an innocuous name at a time when governments are cracking down on all sorts of things and trying to be faschie again?

            “Revolt” doesn’t exactly say, “don’t ‘investigate’ me government, I promise there’s nothing suspicious.”
