Besides some countries, people that had their account flagged as possible underage also need to verify themselves.
I know a French guy that joked about being 12 in a chat, got reported by a troll that got his account locked, and had to send his ID to unlock it.

Quelle surprise
Just roll all the class actions into a UBI fund for the people
Well, now I feel better about using a throwaway email when I made my account.

So glad I ditched discord the second they considered going public, converting people to Matrix sucks because Element is terrible for group calls, [Edit] tried setting up a Snikket server via Docker compose yesterday but their documentation sucks for manual setups, I don’t need them handling reverse proxying for me and rather they didn’t bind to the host network and instead bind to a docker network eventually my tweaks broke docker itself and I had to restart the service.
Should have just gone back to TeamSpeak 3
Including mine. Nice job Discord! Thanks for the fake age ban...this was their plan, wasn't it?
