The fact that this is a tactic that SERIAL KILLERS HAVE USED IN THE PAST to kidnap their victims should horrify anybody.

Like, this is ACTUALLY how Ted Bundy kidnapped a bunch of women.

It actually inspired the Catherine Martin kidnapping scene in Silence of the Lambs!!

Let's queer the internet together with .meow a queer-owned, queer-operated non-profit with one goal: Turning internet infrastructure into community support.

I'm fried but the good folks of @dotmeow.org are still streamin. Go and pop on by, funny people talkin about everything from lactation to workplace organizing to network infrastructure. if you got a few bucks consider backing their kickstarter. We can make a better internet together.

some people really do not actually hold actual values. I would not be surprised that they think something such as homophobia would be "justified" if it is someone they don't like. Can we criticize people for the wrong they do rather than resorting to awful shit we should be standing against?

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

I had a hunch they would blame trans people when I heard about the news

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.

Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

It gets difficult in this world, it beats you down.
Don’t stop tho, don’t loose hope, don’t loose that spark.

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)

Dude

The guy that wrote this news article was fucking DONE

Same website that leaked almost 100k ID's a few months ago btw

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

I really got to "not put all of my egg in the same basket". I have a gallery for my art on bsky and Furaffinity. Does anyone have any platform I could post my art on? I would also like to know if the those other platform allows nsfw or not so I can also do the same with my AD account

#art #furryart

yes!! yes! ddr5 ram available at normal prices in our lifetime!!

Furries have already achieved the dream of every shit silicon valley technology and in a more ethical and less cringe way

The metaverse: VRChat
NFTs: adoptable fursonas
Typing words into a text box and having art appear: commissions

#commsopen Help a disabled couple living on support! Rent is coming up and we could really use the help.

Shares appreciated!!

The stance that bad people make bad art is really just going to hurt you when inevitably, if you like ANY art at all, you’re gonn run into someone who’s great at it who sucks

Acknowledging bad people can make good art is vital to accepting when someone tells you an artist you like has done wrong

it is tiring to see people trying to claim it is (or must be) fully G-rated. It is not, there are adult content that the fandom create and we should not be ashamed of it. Yea sfw spaces exist, the two can coexist. Let's have pride in being a sex-positive fandom.

Seems to be accurate now.
Don't forget that you have many alternatives!

I could take one or two more! Thank you all very much for sharing! 🫶

For the last fucking time, THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE USE FOR KIWIFARMS!

This is a forum that was literally created to harass and stalk a random weirdo, FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS, because they once made a shitty Sonic webcomic.

And it's now used to doxx and harass anybody they consider "weird".

oh mon doux vraiment??? Je dois vraiment me ratrapper et m'informer sur la politique qui se passe au Quebec. Je suis tellement deçu que sa soit ce partie qui gagne dans les sondages.

wish you happy birthday!!

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

a meme with two hands holding words : "the deep desire to be creative" vs "the inherent need to recover my energy from surviving reality"

I feel seen

I'm still looking for work so I would really like to get to talking with people and get some projects going!
