I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).
Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.
Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don't expect much convenience.
Oh my God it's been so many years since I've heard of tox I set up a q-tox account years ago, then no one used the platform so I just let it rest. I think I have my identity key is still stored on my developer sync, I forgot that platform existed

Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.
AI models have been able to for a long time.

Edit: keep in mind this is many years old now, which is ancient in the AI world.

You know, revolt exists. Matrix is good but it isn't the same experience as discord. Revolt is a pretty good open source copy of discord.
Am I the only one who absolutely hates Discord's UI & UX? It's obtuse and bloated.

If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they'd ban you and demand a phone number.
I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.
Use matrix or something better.

As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I'm curious as to how this will work.
Do you guys think that maybe we could fool the AI with AI?
I’d like to try to verify an account using a This Person Does Not Exist generated image, but I don’t use Discord at all
You can, a shitty deepfake will trick most verification systems, I've tested it in banks before

Typically they test videos, not images. So your AI would have to at least animate it.

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won't even mind this.

bye bye!
If something like this happens, I'm setting up a Matrix room as something on the side for if people who work on the same project I do want out of this garbage.
