Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

    Peter Thiel is mentioned over 2000 times in the Epstein files, so now you should wonder if the verification is about acquiring adults data or identifying unattended kids usernames…

          They’re called Spaces on matrix clients. Server instances are the sites that they are hosted on. AFAIK you need to be logged in to bring up this cross-sever space search shown below: https://matrix.org/docs/chat_basics/public-rooms/#browsing-the-public-directory

            Yes, I signed up for the Element app. However, the categories for exploring spaces didn’t appear for me.

                Terrible app, I wish I hadn’t entered. There’s all kinds of filth. Really, the very second I entered, someone asked me something very bad, I don’t want to say

      Check out The Lounge or Convos if you are willing to use a web client. They display history, images on channels, allow uploads, preview URLs and have push notifications.
