There has been a ton of discourse over the Discord situation. I've been looking into it and doing my research on it and I've come to my own decision about it. Discord is saying that not every user will be required to do the verification and that there is a chance this won't affect most users at all. Maybe I'm a naive fool but I'm choosing to "wait and see." I'm not foolish enough to not make back ups though, it's probably a good idea to give everyone a chance to join a steam group or something, but there's no point in letting yourself freak out about something we don't know about yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to convince you not to leave or write off Discord, presumedly we are all adults, you make your own choice and I get it, there are just a lot of emotions about it so lets make sure we aren't pointing those emotions at people who don't deserve it. Whether you are feeling hopeful and want to see what'll happen, or are already done with the BS, we are all in it together so lets try not to attack each other yeah?

Also, I do hate that they've taken this direction, but I've been on Discord since it's infancy, back when skype was sinking and everyone was going "oh yeah Telegram is gonna be the next skype." and I was like "Hey guys but what about this thing called discord..." and I'm willing to give them "wait and see" rather than just write it off. Though I have dropped my Nitro and it's unlikely I'll renew the subscription, not that that means much in the big picture but its something.
