hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

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 even more fun - employing a group of children (child labor, neat) to report to a group of adults that I'm sure won't influence or filter their thinking at all. that's what kids need - a group of yes men that have complete control over their ideas and letting them influence WHOLE ASS ADULTS.

after today's news about discord goodbye nitro

Discord will learn quickly that it is merely a tool that can be abandoned vs an intractable piece of culture

This is the most ridiculous shit I've seen in a LONG while. We all know that Discord is terrible when it comes to data security. I'm not willing to deal with this anymore. The sellout corporate brown nosers that is Discord is easy to replace, just like Skype and AIM and I WILL replace them.

If this goes through I will personally ensure that me, and all my friends and colleagues find a different platform. I don't give a shit. Corporate cocksuckers WON'T get my god damn personal info or biometrics. We know Discord isn't good at ensuring data security and I don't trust them with it.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month Age verification for all.

hahaha! Heck yeah! He starts getting out of the shower and starts yelling, only to hear them all scatter in different directions.

This makes me think. How crazy do I look from an outside perspective when I come barreling out of the shower because my son (cat) is knocking shit over in the other room.

This is very well done. I love his expression and the pose is very nice!

Some of it's been more personal, but overall there's been a lot more art made although not necessarily finished.

I'm sorry if the writing quality is terrible I'm using Text-to-speech because I am very very tired and don't have the energy to type.

Feel like maybe I should make a post talking about what's been going on with me.

My mental health has been just terrible, nothing's really been working out and work has been extremely slow meaning that income has been extremely slow.

On the plus side I have been working on a lot of art. ->

I drew some baby wipplestitch (swatches) after they got a bit too rowdy play fighting. Mama had to come in and scold them.

I feel that. Once ya start feeling like writing/drawing isn't enjoyable, or is too stressful, I gotta step back and rest.

We will be here for you if you need it, and if need be you can always dm me and chat about it. I'm always happy to chat with fellow artists/writers.

Take however long you need to recover, it's important to rest when you need it and not force yourself to continue when you need a break.

“Art is a cycle. Sometimes you draw really well, Understanding how this works but sometimes you feel like you can help an artist power can't draw at all! through art blocks (for you are simply improving your ability to In reality, you are always slowly SEE), and not get too cocky improving. It's just a cycle of during art highs! SEEING vs. DRAWING that makes you think you are doing worse” A chart with two opposite waves, the x axis is “Time” and the y axis is “ABILITY”. The starting top wave is labeled “skill at seeing or evaluating art” and the lower wave is labeled “skill at making art” The first time the waves intersect says “Your art seems to get less bad, and then gets really awesome because your abilty to see is still catching up to your art skill here” When the skill at making art is higher than the skill at evaluating art, it’s labeled “Perceived skill” with the text “ART SKILL › ABILITY TO SEE When you can draw better than you can evaluate how good you are ART HIGH "Wow I'm getting so good!" "This is the best picture I've EVER MADE!!"” The next time the waves intersect is labeled “Actual skill is steady here, but your art seems to get steadily worse. It's really your ability to evaluate art that's improving, so you criticize your art better!” When the skill at evaluating art is higher than the skill at making art, it’s labeled “Perceived lack of skill” with the text “ART SKILL ‹ ABILITY TO SEE When you can evaluate your art better than you can draw ART LOW "Wow I suck.." AKA Art blocks”

reminding myself of this every day

Ngl, Shorkie.... I thought those were balls XD. I had to look for the nips, I thought they were a set of balls
