Open to everyone, but you must have Google or Discord account. Has the definition of everyone changed?

• chipgap98 2y ago
  Anyone can sign up for one of those accounts. I don't really see why that would make this misleading

  Can everyone have a Google is Discord account?

    Can everyone have a Google or* Discord account?

  If your site or service only has social logins then it's a hard no from me.

  Open to everyone, but requires a computer. Has the definition of everyone changed?
  • stemlord 2y ago
    Equating participating in walled garden social platforms to simply having a computer is bleak
    • cabbageicefruit 2y ago
      Pretending that someone can’t use your software because they don’t want to create a login through your providers is idiotic.

      Can you explain the difference between creating an anonymous google account with fake information compared to an anonymous midjourney account with fake information?
      • stonogo 2y ago
        Creating fake accounts violates Google's terms of service.
      • latexr 2y ago
        Google accounts require a phone number. How do you reliably fake that internationally without risking your money on some shady service?
    • bufferoverflow 2y ago
      Nonsense. Creating a throwaway account takes a couple of minutes. What a strangely deranged view of the world some people have.
      • rnd0 2y ago
        And a phone number in the case of both google and discord. It is deranged that requiring a phone to access a website is seen as a non-issue, I agree.

  I truly thought the title meant they are no longer tied to discord. Excited me for a minute
  • seoulmetro 2y ago
    Yep. "Web experience" made me think there was an actual website experience. There still isn't a web experience and it's still not open to everyone. lol
• geor9e 2y ago
  Touché. But it's certainly leagues more "everyone" today than it was yesterday. It used to require arcane knowledge of deep Discord server bot navigation. I gave up after 20 minutes and never figured it out. Today I tried it in seconds. I have about 40+ google accounts for reasons, so I don't begin to understand the aversion some have to registering a burner google/discord/facebook/etc account under their hampster's name, but many of my closest friends are just like you so I respect it anyway, whatever principle it is.
  • contrarian1234 2y ago
    Where do you quickly get burner phone numbers for registration ?
    • taude 2y ago
      why do you need a phone number for a google account?
      • latexr 2y ago
        Because Google asks for it to let you register.
        • taude 2y ago
          Really? Wow. I have like 20 gmail accounts. I guess I got them before they started requiring phone numbers.
          • latexr 2y ago
            Do you use all 20 regularly? Because if you don’t, there’s a chance that next time you try to login to one of them on the web they’ll ask you to add a phone number and not let you continue until you do. But if you have them setup in an email client, it should still work.
