please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

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)

Pixel art of Malzeno from Monster Hunter, in flight with its wings spread in front of a full moon. It has white scales, a gray underbelly, crimson wings, and golden horns, claws, and tail spikes.

Happy Spooky Month from your local vampire dragon! 🦇

She's quoting Hitler *again*

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

These damn cats yell at me even though there's food in the bowl until I walk them there personally like a waiter. Anything else sir. Would you like to hear today's specials

She needs a name 😭😭😭 #oc #originalcharacter

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

Dess #deltarune #dessholiday

Vivalich illustration of Dess Holiday, sitting. Her left arm and leg are pitch black and skeletal, resembling the limbs of the Roaring Knight. Her left arm has been ripped from her shoulder, now strung with only strings of sinew. The bottom of the image reads "When did you start being yourself?"

I had a dream where Dess was the Roaring Knight, and whenever she needed to change between forms, she had to literally rip herself apart and replace individual parts of her body Ship-of-Theseus style.

It might be good to include these talking points when you call Visa/Mastercard.

"So you support Roblox, a website/app known to endanger children, but you refuse to support legal adult content? What kind of message are you sending to customers?"

too human

Quagsire was my first ever favourite Pokémon that stayed as my favourite Pokémon for a significant amount of time so I am very happy to now have a shiny one caught with old gen full odds

I named her pippins because since playing deltarune the name pippins was stuck in my head and I needed to name something it. It was either her or my first born and I can’t do the second one so shiny quagsire gets the honour or honor for you Americans I’m inclusive and accepting of everyone

sparkly pippins

very important pokemon to me shiny quagsire in marsh after 8804 REs #shinypokemon

Due to my inconsistent employment, bills that need to be paid, and the fact I have to move in about 6ish weeks I could really use any funding assistance. I can cover my move and related expenses but it will be tight to say the least. It would be appreciated deeply.
