>Many discord users I have seen talk about this issue frame this as an attack on freedom
good! ideally, someone is helping them organize and action those thoughts and feelings outside of whatever discord channel you are in.
i am referring to how it is being framed by the people pushing the agenda. age verification laws (as an easy example) arent being advertised as "we want to spy on you", they are being advertised as "this will protect children from harms".
talk to debbie in accounting instead of babmorley420 in discord, and ask her opinion. she is not likely to frame it as an attack on privacy/freedom. she is likely to frame it as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good. and her opinion also matters, she also votes. we need to convince the debbies of the world -- they outnumber the babmorley420s
i teach tech in college and just earlier today made a post about how i am not seeing the same when i compare my current students to students 5, 10, or 15 years ago. i hope that i am the one in the bubble.
I'm part of a community around the stop killing games initiative. So maybe it's a bit slanted because most might be pc gamers (technically inclined). But it's a pretty big movement on this front and most of them see right through this. A lot of them don't like what discord is doing. Whether or not they'll put there money where there mouth is is another matter.
