Very nice ❤️

If you care about pixel art as a medium and want to learn more about how to detect if it is genuine or AI-generated, please refer to this writeup that I created with the help of the community. Read, download, share and support real creators.

remember, their last security breach - in which 70,000 government IDs were leaked to third parties - was in October. not even six fucking months ago.

do not let this company or the techbrained knuckledraggers who run it think they have any right to ask for your information

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)

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

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?

Word on the street is discord is rising up the ranks in the "Most Bullied Corporation" competition, I hope they make it to number 1

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

CONTINUE TELLING EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT AI IS THE STUPIDEST SHIT EVER

IT IS WORKING

CONTINUE TO MAKE ART YOURSELF

CONTINUE TO WRITE THINGS THAT INSPIRE YOU

THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ALIVE IS TO CREATE COOL SHIT

AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

Commissioners and artists, be aware of this if you use the PayPal

I’m so furious that legal NSFW art and artists are being slowly gentrified off the internet while billionaires make CSAM-generating robots with impunity

Ppl coming from other sites probably don’t kno that marking a post as NSFW doesn’t derank or lead to a shadow ban! Please mark ur stuff so I can scroll my feed in public (and know when to turn my brightness down to check ur post :3)

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad
They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

i really recommend using this website to maximize your calls re: tomorrow's markdown meeting in the House energy and commerce committee. it connects you to various relevant legislators and gives you a script as well!

KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.

They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Stop payment processors from censoring games!

Already seeing folks say, "Well, HORSES isn't YUCKY PORN like other games are, so..." which is super frustrating.

Now is NOT the time to be throwing the hentai games you happen not to like under the bus. Your rage should be directly at payment processors.

Join the fight

Corporations are relying on shame to stop folks from fighting to keep porn around. An amazing way to fight against this stuff is to simply not be ashamed of sex and sexuality; even if you think some of it is "cringe". You'll do yourself a favor by eliminating your shame about sex.

Mastercard logo, but it says ‘Censorship’. there are some things money can't buy, for that, you can thank Master Card.® For years, MasterCard has led the way in pressuring platforms that host and sell adult content. Most recently, we have pressured Steam and Itch.io, leading to dozens if not hundreds of games being delisted, and their TOS now updated with draconian content standards.

MAN I don't wanna put anyone on blast but I'm lookin at some of these commission prices and y'all have GOT to believe in yourselves more.

I see so many people offering full character illustrations fully rendered for under 100 bucks - you deserve more than that so charge more!

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists
