No One Believes Discord's Excuses: Gamers Are Mass Migrating to TeamSpeak
Discord users are massively switching to TeamSpeak following the announcement of age verification. Discord developers stated that the platform might start requesting identification documents. The idea of uploading documents did not appeal to everyone. On social media, past data leaks were recalled, leading to a wave of outrage directed at Discord. The situation was not salvaged by explanations that the verification would only be required in exceptional cases and that the data would not be stored.
TeamSpeak, which had ceded its leadership to Discord, suddenly faced a surge of new registrations. The company reported that server capacities in many regions are at their limit and is urgently deploying new ones. Over recent years, TeamSpeak has evolved significantly and now offers functionality similar to Discord.
