Emma I think a big reason would be the age verification issue. I know it's not fully implemented yet, but once it is, I'm dropping Discord entirely and so are most of my own friends. We're still looking for a 3rd party alternative that we can all agree on. Stoat seems to be the one we're leaning towards the most.

Emma Thanks for the quick reply! I don't seem to be able to add a description anymore...

Issues I have with Discord:

• age verification

• security breaches in the past (e.g. ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked)

• privacy concerns

I personally moved to hardcover as I have privacy concerns regarding goodreads. Once I moved over my whole library I want to apply to be a librarian. Holding me back from applying are the above mentioned concerns...

Nu Sorry, i switched internet browsers and now edited the description...
