Well. Anyone got a Discord alternative recommendation if I use it for text messaging? Would rather not upload my ID or face. I looked at Revolt, but they’re apparently histed in the UK, which is mandating age verification.
Thanks - also wrong country, I thankfully don’t have age verification mandated yet but I’d really rather not use a service that goes into age verification in general. I’ll see if I can convince the 2 friends I text with there to use one of those. Don’t think they like age verification either.

If your state requires ID verification, then most apps will probably comply. You can try Matrix with Element or just Signal with a group.
More more “off-the-line” alternatives you can look at Mumble and own your own server.
https://simplex.chat/ is what I use and would recommend instead of signal
Element is the best option for people who need the “discordlike” features such as sub “room” in a community
You can totally get by with just making multiple simplex groups IMO but some people coming from discord don’t like that
We use simplex here, but if I want to also use it from the desktop it’s really clunky. I hope they find a way to unclunk that.

IRC, matrix?
Thank you for suggestions!
Huh so are you saying revolt must do the image age verification thing now?
I used revolt a few years ago before this age verification stuff started popping up
