Honestly, I think it’s massively significant. For a start off, that’s 20 million people, the population of Chile, in one quarter. That’s a lot of people regardless of how you slice it.

But more to the point, Meta services - Facebook especially - have reached a point of cultural impact where anyone who doesn’t have them can’t be talked into getting them anyway. Plus, they’re useful messaging services too, because everyone else uses them. Their popularity has become self-fulfilling. The idea of Meta losing more users than it’s gaining at all has been frankly unthinkable until recently.

Well, the same kind of WAS said about post-WWII Germany. It was joint-colonised for half a century and ceased to exist as a single independent state until 1989, and even then, German reunification was pretty controversial

Fantastic news - the UK had to learn the hard way who its real allies and adversaries are

Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally

So in other words, if you only use Discord as a messaging app and for small servers between friends, this won’t affect you?

I honestly have no idea why Discord started trying to push itself as some normal social media like Facebook, and why people started treating it as such. Discord was a glorified telephone line with gifs and web links. I don’t need some manufactured sense of “community” among thousands of people who happen to watch the same YouTuber as me.

Yeah pretty much

Last I heard, Trump’s own actions were tanking the popularity of his European equivalents across the board. Reform UK for example peaked in the polls about a year ago, and have been dropping ever since.

And when the European finally closed his YouTube account, he wept, for there were no more US products left to boycott

I have something of a game going on where every time the US peeves me off, I delete something that profits them.

Trump threatens Greenland? I delete Deviantart

Trump threatens Canada? I delete Reddit

The ICE shooting? I delete Instagram

After hearing about this I just deleted Brave Mobile and switched to Vivaldi. If it stays this consistent I’m going to have to save up for an Ubuntu Touch phone.
