Wondering if I should capitulate to joining Discord to keep in touch with people but age verification is going to be demanded at some point and there’s the risk of drama or scams.
I should be doing more housework or trying to exercise but I’m almost ready to nap.

Avoiding Facebook and Whatsapp has definitely cost me a number of friendships. I attended a funeral recently and as we were running through people not present (work / interstate) they were all keeping in touch via facebook. Age verification will be a drag but there’s little point being on a niche social media or messaging service. I can stand proudly with my self hosted XMPP and matrix but no one will be on them.

It really sucks. I think everyone is so overworked and frantic that the convenience of social media is now mandatory.
Unfortunately I’m not keen on Facebook already so I probably won’t be giving ID
