My understanding is age verification will be mandated if you have UK users or are in the UK, so… it’s that online “safety” bill.

Thank you for suggestions!

Well. Anyone got a Discord alternative recommendation if I use it for text messaging? Would rather not upload my ID or face. I looked at Revolt, but they’re apparently histed in the UK, which is mandating age verification.
