    I refuse to verify my age with a face scan or government ID for an online account/profile.. It's too easy to imagine how fucked up that will go.

    The more I delete profiles to platforms with unwanted disturbing features the more recluse I become. It must look to acquaintances that I don't care to speak (to them) but what can I do? I cannot imagine convincing even computer-literate friends to switch to something - as they will have the same problem.

    Do I need to retire my Discord gaming server before I'm locked out of controlling it?
