Age verification?

I remember the Habbo Hotel raids.

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 – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d 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, we’ll 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 we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re 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)

Being opposed to oppression and greed is anti-fascist.

When your therapist denies you're at risk of being unhealthy and then says he can't help you help your loved ones and then when you give him proof you're unhealthy he just says "I'm not trying to invalidate you but you're just stressed" /vent

Ok if you tell people traumatized by a specific mode of care to go back to that mode of care you're part of the problem

Like for example if someone was traumatized by equine therapy you wouldn't tell them to go try a horseback ride to relieve stress

We are sooo making the word "don" a slang word this year

OpenAI publishes new study on how people are using ChatGPT Seventy percent of messages are about topics unrelated to work .

~78% of all ChatGPT usage is for practical guidance (28.1%), seeking information (21.3%), and writing (28.3%)

All things we used to seek qualified experts, elders, and books for.

10% of the world uses it.

58% of American adults under 30 use it.

I hate it here.

My OCD is fucking up my ability to do witchcraft and now I gotta wish my cat was a Pegasus pony and I were a sharktopus

It's so funny and shitty that Colorado has been in this severe drought because it's snowed for like four seconds in the last eleven months, and now the entire country is getting his huge snowstorm and Colorado is getting basically none of it except bone chilling temperatures. All the bad, no benefit

When people capitalize certain words for emphasis Like This it makes me really happy and I feel accomplished

My orange-cream-buff tabby cat, Michael, watching a music video for Soppo by PJ featuring clips from the anime What's Michael. Michael is resting his head and chest on the laptop keyboard. The lyrics on screen read "What sort of dream are you having?"

A long deserved rest after summoning Tsathoggua, a great old one Michael mistook for the mischief demon Bagagwa.
