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

Yikes, we gotta get on improving Element and Matrix as a replacer ASAP. My apologies for shillery, I don't normally hock FOSS alternatives in the comments but I view this sort of offense by Discord as a militant action level of threat.

Matrix takes Donations LINK

Element offers product packages for developers/hosts LINK

There are also other services aside from Element with similar functionality so check those out too.

EDIT: Also Matrix is on Github LINK

Revolt also exists just btw. I dont use it just thought I'd mention it.

Cinny is a discord like matrix client :)

The feature none of them seem to have is creating a set of rules that users have to read and agree to before seeing the rest of the space, such is the case with Discord Community Channels.

I mean theres a shit ton missing for discord parity. I agree that matrix needs more of these features, just wanted to share a couple things that already exist
