Users won’t actually leave Discord. I emphasized ‘some’ in the opening paragraph because the announcement states that the vast majority of existing users won’t be impacted (¹the platform already has enough usage information to reliably identify their age).

¹We already know who you are LOL

Seems ironic to host a self-host discussion on a platform like Discord

I look forward to these posts/emails every week, keep up the good work please :)

Fluxer seems to be an exciting alternative to discord, that is mentioned in the weekly post on selfhost.
