Discord now requires age verification, and why you should reconsider the age-old forum

We're not even two months into 2026, and yet another large social media network has done the seemingly unthinkable and instituted a policy that triggers a mass exodus.

I am of course talking about Discord's roll-out of age verification globally, across the entire site.

Not only will they require age verification, Discord is also utilising AI technology to analyze your content and habits to infer your age.

Is there such a thing as a #fediverse forum? There must be options away from Discord/Reddit and all those other centralised communities.

@98Percent
> It's on phpBB fourm software

Oh wow, old school. I can't find any evidence of AP support for phpBB.

But FYI I did find LemmyBB, an alternative client for Lemmy that uses phpBB styling (by borrowing some of their GPLv2 code);

Foruming culture isn't for me, so far. I'll come back to foruming culture when they are more civilised and not sloppy.

Gặp vấn đề hiển thị ảnh trên Kaggle dù đã nhập đường dẫn đầy đủ trong markdown. Gemini và ChatGPT chỉ đề xuất 2 phương pháp đã thử. Cuối cùng giải pháp được tìm thấy trên diễn đàn Kaggle: click vào ảnh ở thư mục input và sao chép địa chỉ hiện lên ở dưới màn hình. Ví dụ nhỏ cho thấy AI chưa thể thay thế tư duy sáng tạo của con người. Hãy giữ gìn các diễn đàn vì chúng hữu ích khi cần hỏi đáp! #Kaggle #AI #DữLiệu #Forums #Tech

NodeBB v4.8.0 — Crossposting, federated moves, API changes, and bug fixes!

Hello from Canada! :flag-ca:

We're a week behind the planned release, but we're dropping v4.8.0 today, containing some changes to our ActivityPub handling, along with a new API route, and bug fixes.

Crossposting

As briefly introduced in my earlier topic on cross-posting, NodeBB v4.8.0 supports cross-posting of topics between categories. More importantly, it means topics from other remote categories can now be added to local categories, which is another way to bring conversations to your local users.

@rozeboosje worse even: There ain't any exemptions from the #CSAM ban, so legally speaking the moment some @Bundesregierung employee or any user from #Germany sees said CSAM on any platform they are legally liable for that unless they literally turn themselves in as withness to the #police.

But then again #Police refuse to even siphon off all the #URLs from #pedo #forums they seized and order the #Filehosters to not only hand them over a copy of the files & access logs, deleting the original and setup a #Honeypot to #log all future attempts of #reupload and/or #download for them.

  • They shure as hell could do that, and legally they have to (just as they have to arrest and ID every #NonviolentOffender of actual #VictimlessCrimes [CSAM certainly isn't victimless!] by law), but they chose not to

Sriracha, an imageboard and forum server, now includes full Docker support. Official images are now available and an example Docker Compose deployment configuration is now included.

Sriracha has many features such as creating multiple boards and importing from TinyIB. See the readme and manual for more info.

Cross-posting is coming to NodeBB!

tl;dr — cross-posting is coming to NodeBB in v4.9.0. It will be internal-only for now, as we work through social issues with federated cross-posting. Existing category sync and auto-categorization logic in NodeBB now utilises cross-posts instead of moving or ignoring categorized topics, respectively.

Some history

For the past couple months, I've been mulling over the idea of cross-posting, and how this would work in a federated forum context.

This year, I want to participate in more forums. Things without a character limit. I’m already a proud member of the 32 bit café forum and love reading new entries via RSS, so what other forums are out there? I would dearly like to see forums for audiobooks, genre romance, and places like the 32 bit café that will let me share my blog posts. Bonus points if it has an RSS feed. #Forum #Forums

These are the DC criminals the authorities should be looking for 24/7. They use helicopters & drones & eavesdropping devices, imsi catchers & rogue access points & stolen IPs & smart TVs & ... for their criminal intents.
