#Discord I'm out.

I tried to friend someone in a group I've been active in for months alongside using Discord for several years for various software support (#Svelte, #Rust, #Tauri, #Servo and others).

I've never run a native app or given up my phone number to Discord, Twitter, Facebook etc. but Discord want it to verify my account. As each of the others tried to do before I left them.

It's nonsense. They don't need that to know I'm legit.

It's all abuse of #privacy so I'm out.

The fastest non-Google controlled web rendering engine Servo is trying to compete with only $1.6k funding a month:

Yes, they did have an NLNet grant, but that ran out.

If we want an alternative to Blink/Chrome, we need to fund it. This is a project where even a tiny regular amount could yield oversize returns:
