Youtube tip you might find useful:

Trying to find something specific, but Youtube keeps putting irrelevant "people also search for" stuff in results? Just add a before: filter with a date in the future. "your search before:2027" gets rid of that stuff.

I know a lot of the time people just want something to watch, so sticking that other stuff in can be fine. But if you're really searching for something specific, it gets in the way.

Well that's just a lie. Everybody I know UK wise had to verify if they didn't just hop on a VPN. Including me.

I assume that's because we all clicked whatever privacy setting is 'don't snarf up my identity into your algos'

The grind continues.

Remember to keep getting up Discord's ass over the "age verification" shit. Don't accept their flimsy ass statement.

ik everyone is bashing Discord and rightfully so but PLEASE call ur reps/senators and demand them to say no on repealing section 230

if it is repealed, it's like what discord's doing but for the entire internet as a whole

i have drawn Discord's awful mascot, Wumpus, crying in a folding chair in the void like Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion. He is surrounded by paper letters on the floor and raining from above. The text reads: PAPER MAIL IS HARDER TO IGNORE. Discord Inc. 444 De Haro Street, Suite 200, San Fransisco, CA, 94107, United States of America. BONUS: call them at 888-594-0085! source: discord.com/company-information (if they remove it it's on the internet archive)

they can't use chatbots or auto-responses to deal with paper mail. they can throw it away, but it can still be a problem.

you can buy single stamps at your local post office. 😎

source for address/phone number is discord's own site:
discord.com/company-info...

They pushed out a dummy statement because they're scared of losing their money.

Don't stop. Starve them until they fully walk this back. Keep bullying them. Keep harassing them. Keep berating them.

👏Don't. 👏Fucking. 👏Stop.

That's what they want: Validation. Don't give it to them.

ALSO while we’re being distracted from the US trying to get rid of our Section 230 rights. PLS read more here ➡️ badinternetbills.com

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:

Protect Section 230!

We can save the Internet by Enforcement of anti-trust laws, Give us data privacy laws, Regulate algorithm transparency & more user control!

Protect Section 230!
Protect Section 230!

Understand and LEARN what Section 230 is, and how it protects YOU!

Absolutely.

You all need to take a few minutes and use 5calls.org and consider shooting down bills that are pending like KOSA. While you're at it, tell them to abolish ICE. It'll take at max, ten minutes.

5calls.org

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that it’s not OK to browbeat and bully corporations into submission because corporations aren’t people and neither our CEOs 🙂

once my son woke me up to ask what a three dimensional hexagon was called. yes, please. ask me about the gay instead.

In light of the Discord news, don't forget to make your calls.

When calling your House Rep, also mention these bills:
KOSA
SCREEN Act
COPPA 2.0
RESET Act
Sammy Act
App Store Accountability Act
GAMING Act
Safe Messaging for Kids Act
Parents over Platforms Act
Sunset to Reform Section 230 Act

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

#savespeech #notodigitalid

We're making them sweat, but its not enough. Even if we move to alternatives, we aremt addressing the root issue.

Thank you everyone who backed me up in the comments

I'll be completely honest with you, that was more of an educated guess. I took some time to fact check it after I posted and people who voted yes on KOSA are indeed mentioned in Epstain files.

Who would've thought? (sarcasm)

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

This post is going viral, but this isn't walking back. It's reiterating the initial press release. There's no new information in this post, aside from them saying they're using a different ID partner (which doesn't solve that problem) and the Reddit joke. Everything else is the same. Keep pushing.

TCRF is the funniest website of all time if you know where to look

'member when it was heavily frowned upon to share private info online? yeah why don't we go back to that

For Americans like myself, here's an extra lil guide/template for calls: bsky.app/profile/letu...

Small sites can't afford the cost of ID verification so aside from the obvious problem of being logged somewhere just for reading something, you also have further consolidation of where you can go to read it as only big platforms can afford it.

Its chilling effects all the way down

the actual Republican parents who support the politicians pushing for this think the effort and money they spent parenting are wasted if their kids turn out different from them.

You eliminate that possibility by eliminating the public existence of other kinds of people.
