  • on quite a number of servers that are 18+, higher verification usually sounds a little bit more safe. But then on most of the servers I run or moderate, we tend to have our own in-house verification methods instead of the built levels for discord.

    the idea of the verification levels is attractive, however. anything to keep the kids out. though I’m not sure I’d go as far as requiring a phone number, I might consider it for future.

    it depends on how the server is going to be used. why a gaming server should be highest level, I don’t know. I would think “high” is enough.













  • I was having a conversation with a friend about this just the other day, in fact. I feel that it would make a lot of things better, but a lot of things worse.

    Privacy would essentially boil down to normal internet users, and then the illegal ones. I feel a subset for illegally obtained identities would probably be par for the course. So how to actually enforce this seems really hard to conceptualize. At least for me.

    On one hand, I think trolls would either scamper away for fear of actually being held accountable for the things they say, or they’d double down and be even more bold.

    It would also enable stalking/harassment/potential violence towards those that are just going about their day.

    So I think it would absolutely make terrible people be held personally accountable for all they write/post online. But unfortunately, it would absolutely endanger those that don’t want to cause chaos and be trolls and join hate groups and stuff.

    Lots of good. But way too much danger to those that just want to talk about their favorite anime or whatever.
