My impression is that Discord is more replaceable than Twitter because you really only have to move one relatively self-contained community at a time rather than the whole freakin' world, and it is a lot easier for each community's leader to say "meet me at [Zulip|Discourse|DeltaChat|Slack|etc.]" than it is to get every noteworthy Twitter account to migrate.

@dangoodin I was just talking about this to @lorenzofb lmao
@dangoodin Is there going to be a gray market for IDs so teenagers can get approved as adults?

@DaveMWilburn @dangoodin As Dave notes, a lot of this is community-sensitive. Discourse only has a future if gamer kids decide it does. So the question is really whether faking ID is worth it, or if alternatives fill the gap. Twitter was already a millennial project by the time it Nazified; but Discourse still skews younger. I truly have no idea how that will affect inclinations, but I also think any alternative needs to be resistant to further legislation down this path.
