This would've been such an amazing movie. I had the honor to peep it sometime last year and it was very moving and exciting. Sony passed on something great BUT I hear Matt has some other news to share soon so... Something else to look forward to!

Day 10: European Mouflon

A feral subspecies of the domestic sheep that inhabits Europe. Just like other bighorns, these guys are known to headbutt in the heat of competition.

They have INCREDIBLY thick skulls that are built to withstand the enormous force of their headbutts.

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 โ€“

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

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. Weโ€™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)

I will continue to spread the message about transgender people until the day I disappear
I hope that all good-hearted transgender people can live their lives with pride and happiness

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.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

To my new followers;
Hello! My name is Kounomamoriii. I'm an artist, editor, and Ghost Queen Vtuber!
I tend to be very distracted, probably because of my ADD so it's hard for me to stay focused on one thing.
But I try my best to post things for my little spooky fanbase! ๐Ÿฉท
Here's some old art.

Day 9: Sloth

Blink and youโ€™ll miss it! There are six extant species of sloth that feast on the leaves of Central and South America.

Sloths have a slooooooooooooow metabolic rate - less than half of what it should be for an animal its size. This explains their breakneck speeds.

From that time Requiem changed her magic name. It's a ritual that requires someone of significant power. Here, she's called upon Williford, the Demon Lord of Ignorance, who can manipulate truth and reality (to a degree)

the biggest problem with writing a good fanfic imo is that you have to stick with the rules of the story for the most part and what makes sense given the canon, obviously you can push it a *bit* but not too much
almost as big is logistics, i have no idea how i'm gonna have the story resolve X_X

Day 8: Greater Roadrunner

The largest of the roadrunners, these guys inhabit the arid shrublands of North America. Most would think they go "beep beep", but it's more of a "haw haw haw".

As the name implies, they have a need for speed, reaching up to 26mph (~42kmph) on foot!
