It's strange, when the system is strained, sometimes we feel blurred, other times we're fragmented

Today is a fragmented kinda day

God bless, I appreciate someone fighting for us

witches have a storied history because the annals of our passing have been BURNT TO THE GROUND for the sake of the good we do in the world

THEY CALLED US HERETICS BECAUSE WE CALLED OUT ABUSES AND BEGGED FOR OUR COMMUNITIES TO BE LOOKED AFTER

something Crowley could
never understand

is the plight of a
faggot tranny goddess

She hands out her Last Wishes to all those who might use Her power, revealing unto them what She knows their Will to be.

The World is sick, lay dying, falls dead!

The scavengers, the decomposers, the deathworkers tend to the Dying World...

Consuming Her Remains...

So that they may make something new.

Now why am I in it???

A Bill That Would Ban Pornography in the U.S. Also Takes Aim at Trans People The bill was introduced by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a longtime ally of the Heritage Foundation, which authored Project 2025.

"Magus, why do you care if Discord/Tumblr/whatever platform restricts or removes NSFW features?"

Because I'm a trans person living in America, and these fascist fucks have been wanting to legally define trans existence as inherently obscene for years:

FUCK, DAMN

Fear of the unknown

Fear of harm

Rarely stop at what your instinctual response is; dig deeper and discover where the response comes from and what to *do*

Results: sometimes, depending on who is inside whom and from which perspective. Fear response is rarely wholly present. Other times it's more tilted towards awe, others more towards wonder, others still towards curiosity, yet others mystery.

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)

Depressed to hear how many people showed up to city hall in SUPPORT of building a giant data center here. Michigan holds 21% of the world's fresh water. If we poison it, we're cooked, especially in the US. This is "destroying the Amazon rainforest" level of serious.

I'm only panicking bc the chatlog for the entire history of my system is being held between the collective and facial recognition age verification

I need to archive this shit before March. Waiting on my stoat verification email. Looks like the wait time on those is around 3 hours presently...

Short bout of research later, Titan for Stoat might be the solution

PluralKit users

Where do we go from here with Discord going up in flames?

Having somewhere where proxying actually functions is actually kinda fuckin important

But we also aren't giving up our biometrics for this shit

I don't give a shit about having to bail off Discord, except for this PK issue

🫂

If you have nitro you should cancel it immediately

Additionally, if you can add "Ask about the Secret Menu"?

I've got some other pronouns I like sprinkling in, but just adding the "Ask Me" pronoun tag on top of my other pronouns doesn't accurately communicate this

Plus one on this, my partner very much would like Creature.

You can reset them.

So like the reset pronouns post, and once they are removed, you can re-like the ones you want

I at least subscribed to the labeler so I can see others' pronouns.

But I won't use it myself until they got cub
