If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We've had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it's where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.

Yeah, using authwalled websites is stupid.

In my country politicians upload their policies exclusively on authwalled sites. The website just links to authwalled social media accounts. Its infuriating.
