i have drawn Discord's awful mascot, Wumpus, crying in a folding chair in the void like Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion. He is surrounded by paper letters on the floor and raining from above. The text reads: PAPER MAIL IS HARDER TO IGNORE. Discord Inc. 444 De Haro Street, Suite 200, San Fransisco, CA, 94107, United States of America. BONUS: call them at 888-594-0085! source: discord.com/company-information (if they remove it it's on the internet archive)

they can't use chatbots or auto-responses to deal with paper mail. they can throw it away, but it can still be a problem.

you can buy single stamps at your local post office. 😎

Don't really want to talk about Discord, enough going around

Instead I just want to remind you

You have friends who only have close online connections. Please be considerate. Do not scare the hell out of them right now that they'll be abandoned.

Talk of going scorched earth scares many people

Thanks! For those interested in how Prince of Persia got made, you can find my published journals, and my graphic novel REPLAY, on my website at jordanmechner.com -- along with archival materials and commentary (some of which is referenced in this article).

Hey can we bring back all those internet safety campaigns we had when I was a millennial teen? It is NOT my job to parent someone else's kids and have to submit my ID to places to sanitize the internet for some puritanical outrage about kids. Parents should be doing this themselves.

There really should’ve been a generation in between Gen Z and Alpha. I see posts like β€œGen Z doesn’t remember THIS show!” and im like β€œoh they’re talking about Still in Middle School Gen Z and not Pays for Own Car Insurance Gen Z”

Every bluesky issue to me is almost twice of an issue on Twitter, but the bias of familiarity often tends to give Bluesky the worse reputation due to being the β€œunderdog” app, designed to be an alternative. Unfortunate. Maybe they should fix said problems

I think the censorship of trans people and Palestinians on this website is a very legitimate issue that should be discussed more

However it is somewhat ironic to see that being used as a reason to not use it from people who use the site owned by an Epsteinite

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

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.

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)

Do not leave Discord yet. Prep your alternatives. Have your backups. Research. But.

Cancel your Nitro. Send an email or support form a day. Call if you like. If you couldn't before for the Visa card shit, now is the time.

And above all else; stand by your communities. Fight.

FIGHT.

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.

Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

if anyone is still looking to throw complaints @ discord, SHOVE THIS IN THEIR FACE. link to an article to it in ur fucking complaint, it's not just a concern that your info may get leaked, there is proof that this has already happened, fucking imagine what will happen if this is on a global scale

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
