Anyway wake me up when we have a TRUE ALTERNATIVE for websites like this that adheres to the following requirements :
- not ran by a nazi
- no GenAI
- no discreet censoring of people trying to flee an actual genocide
- "safety rope" that prevents far right content from entering it

Just now:

Jordan Bardella and his party voted against the €90B EU loan to Ukraine in the European Parliament.

This aid is crucial to Ukraine, and the vote shows once again that the RN sides with Russia.

Traitors will be traitors

guys, if SEGA/RGG already made up their mind about the direction of the series, “sticking it to ‘em” by still giving them money is not the play…
please just buy an indie game instead or find a physical copy of the remastered collection

Strongly recomend you play this version of Yakuza 3 instead of the new one. Y3 is definitely not the best game in the series, but Kiwami 3 changed many things (including recasting a character for a man proved to have committed SA) to the point where many fans are boycotting the series

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)
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!

As a user affected by the Australian rollout: they're lying about pre-verification. Every Australian Discord user with whom I regularly interact is over 30, but we were still all required to verify

Reminder that we can submit support tickets. support.discord.com
A screenshot of a discord request Text Header: Why the hell do you think facial scanning and ID verification is going to fly? Text: You just had a massive security leak like six months ago. Why do you think I'd ever want to upload anything of worth to your platform? I'm already concerned about privacy with what exists on there. I cancelled my nitro. I'm now looking for alternatives. I'm a daily, nigh HOURLY user, and this is a massive turn off. Good luck, hope you realize this is stupid and reconsider, like you did with the AI/LMM bs.

Among plenty of other good concerns THIS is the one

Multiple states have been deciding that all LGBTQ+ content of any kind is inherently Not Safe For Teens and letting platforms decide where that line is for you is disastrously shortsighted
scarletmagus.bsky.social Scarlet Magus 💀 Horror Vtuber @scarletmagus.bsky.social · 2d
"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:

If you're gonna read any quote from an article on the game, let it be this one, because I think it sums up a lot of the feelings of fans pretty succintly
“In a word, it’s grief,” Yakuza/Like A Dragon Wiki “Chairman” Masu told me. “If you’re a longtime fan or even if you can see yourself becoming one, if the series has resonated with you, it’s hard to come to terms with the idea that maybe its driving principle of chivalry is just a power fantasy to be packaged and sold and not a sincerely-held belief. And if you’re a survivor like I am, it’s even harder to lose faith in creators you hoped were in your corner when most of the world isn’t. A lot of us are being forced to close a chapter in our lives [that] we never wanted to close.”

Also, show some like, basic interest in your kids? While not the ONLY reason I got groomed online, my parents and guardians genuinely did not give a shit about what I was doing online. I got more lessons about "online safety" from places like Club Penguin than I did the adults in my life.

As a fucking parent TALK TO YOUR FUCKING KIDS THEN. Worried they'll see porn? Talk to them about porn. Worried they'll see gore? Talk to them about gore. Worried they'll get groomed? Talk to them about red flags and cultivate trust with them so they won't feel they have to hide things from you.

"As a parent, I am deeply concerned about what my child is accessing online. Albeit not enough to check or to install some very basic software that would prevent them from accessing dodgy material online. That's why the Online Safety Act is so important."

This is for 18+ groups for now. But we all know how this goes. The 18+, then the queer groups, which are considered 18+ by default. This killed Yahoo Groups and LiveJournal.
