I still maintain that Jupiter looks like the owner of a pizzeria
The fact that you of all people are saying this honestly makes me terrified as to what it is you're talking about, I'm out of the loop here
Literally whatever is most effective to get everyone to see the truth about renewable energy, if it includes that then yeah
Youre like that guy from Spongbob with glass bones an paper skin
I bit his arm off once and there was no metal in there I can assure you
Actually I dew
Hes not a bo bot
In my mind 1997 is chartreuse and cyan
I NEED YβALL TO UNDERSTAND
if these all completely pass, thatβs it.
It wonβt matter if we electorally escape this current fascism as fast as possible, trifecta (somehow) and all even. no amount of libs will dare to try and undo this
This cannot be made into a norm NOW.
DONT STOP CALLING
One time I misread a PlayStation accessory box in the background of your behind-the-scenes video as saying "SmudgeChicken"
In the UK I canβt even read DMs unless I give them my passport and a video of my face.
This happened almost overnight! Donβt take this for granted, America!
CALL YOUR CONGRESS PERSON NOW!!!!!! Tell them:
β NO to KOSA
β NO to Section 230 reform
β NO to the SCREEN Act
β NO to the App Store Accountability Act
βNO age verification laws
βNO to digital ID systems
Hey, rude awakening for everyone hoping theyll be able to coast by on discord's internal age identification
Palantir wants your info too
The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"
If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
I always like to consult these sites when I'm thinking of trying out a new medium or just wanna see my options alternativeto.net github.com/KenneyNL/Ado...
Yes to ta second one
"LUIGI, I'VE GOT TERMINAL 7"
Reminder that they have lied about this in the past. They said the selfies and ID pictures for the EU and UK were not saved, then there was a data breach and shocker, they were saved and all got leaked. Do not trust this company for shit. The second a reliable, usable alternative appears I'm gone.
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks β Iβve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so todayβs announcement on our blog is something Iβve been pretty involved with. Iβve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured Iβd add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.
And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, weβll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what weβre launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. Weβre definitely reading it!
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
While cancelling Nitro is all well and good, just a reminder that age verification itself won't go away as a whole unless KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and tons more are buried and done with.
Please contact your reps if you don't want this to spread to other platforms.
Youve gotta bother the shit out if your representatives about the issue of online ID laws, its not a discord only problem nor is it limited to nsfw content
Please get involved
Iβm glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that thereβs immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens
Can't really find much about Crocotile's development progress from before 2019, but according to its Steam page, it was actually first released in May 2015
Probably would've still been relatively early on by the time Petscop started production, if I had to guess
No joke, I've seen brief yet bright, blue-green flashes of what I can only assume to be electricity inside my computer tower at least 3 times upon powering it on
The computer's not had any issues that I can connect back to that, but it's still got me kinda on edge lol
what is this one invisible quote
oh damn may they rest in peace dude :(
