Kamikaze Rusher

Or ICE in the last six months

Seriously. There are better ways to ensure privacy with identity verification.

Similar experience here. Some companies just want to pin a scapegoat should they be held liable. Others are just assholes from top to bottom.

You did your due diligence. You almost got burned. Decide for yourself if it’s worth it next time. Not every act in good faith receives a good response.

I’m all for jumping ship on the grounds of this being an overreach. However there just aren’t any good alternatives to Discord which would entice the general public from following suit.

Discord has the advantage of being a very frictionless user experience. You make one account and can join whatever servers you want thanks to its centralized design. It has file sharing, gif and video support, voice channels, screen sharing, API support with websocket events, and a hefty amount of bots to ease management.

There are other solutions but they don’t cover the same amount of features. Some focus on voice, some focus on chat, and some try to do as much but the experience isn’t quite robust. It’ll be like Reddit users and the API fiasco that people thought would be its downfall: the activists will leave but the general community won’t care enough, or aren’t tech-savvy enough, to be bothered.

Some states have already begun to require sites to detect connections from VPNs and block them.

You assume:

1. Medical experts tell you anything about how to take your meds
2. People with ADHD are going to read the super-long pamphlet of info that the pharmacy often prints out and includes with the medication

To date I’ve encountered around three dozen people on ADHD meds (coworkers and friends) who take or have taken their medication with caffeine and were never told not to. Those no longer taking them together learned the hard way after their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. This is anecdotal evidence; your experiences may vary.

Research appears to vary wildly regarding: how many people actually read the pamphlets; and how much of the pamphlet is read on average by those who do read it. Depending on the layout of this information, the disclaimers on what not to do when taking the meds may not even be reached. Speed readers and inattentive types probably don’t even register or see those items. I’d even bet that most ADHD medication users forget that the pamphlets exist!
