Discord has folded to UK mandatory social-media self-doxxing regulation. So, soon Discord users will have to upload some form of ID or perhaps work with a third-party mass-doxxing service to keep using their accounts. Castle Age settled on Discord as a platform for community engagement around 2017. For my stint playing Realm of the Mad God, I also lurked on that Discord, and though I hardly followed them at all beyond initial landing, Mensa's TTRPG SIG and local gamer Discords for the NCSU and Flemington areas are in my Discord lineup. Feels like a good time to get away from Discord.

The UK law is absolutely an extension of lessons learned by would-be dictators from the role of social media in 2010's "Arab Spring", alongside decades of TLA mass domestic cyberspying initiatives that morph and change names every few years - Echelon, Prism, Stellar Wind. UK fash creeps were undoubtedly very receptive to model mass-doxxing legislation, as identifying dissenters was the logical fallback when they couldn't silence and erase the UK anti-genocide org "Palestine Action".
