New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.

On my flight today, a chatty lady said, “I can’t go to New York with all that’s going on over there.” And I said, “What? Free child care?” And she stopped talking to me.

San Francisco teachers are asking for higher wages, health benefits and more resources for students with special needs.

They also want the district to enact policies to support homeless and immigrant students and families. https://wapo.st/4aooxrA

Magic the Gathering claims their roadmap doesn't currently include Harry and his pals but roadmaps can change. And afaik there are no statements regarding D&D. Remind WotC that trans people are a huge part of this community.

She's right. The gradual closing of the internet with "save the children" as a wedge issue is progressing and will only serve authoritarians.

We need more political organization around these issues - not just targeting Discord, but targeting the governments that encourage and enable this behaviour.

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

Another note on this series. It's genuinely a VERY progressive show overall. Kimba/Leo promotes change for the better politics-wise with his jungle friends. Literally the episode I'm on is about generational racism.

Crazy how boomers grew up with this show, it'd be called "woke" if released today.

Been re-visiting the original Kimba series (60's Jungle Emperor Leo dub) and it's hilarious how they try to censor an obvious character death.

"you only have to [send your government photo ID and a video of your face] if you want to enter an age-restricted server or channel" is not reassuring.... id like to continue operating an age-restricted server without inadvertently helping my transbian sisters get doxxed lol. keep up the pressure

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!

A bundle of 1400+ games for $10 (or more, if you so choose) has launched, raising money for a great cause.
(organised by the ceaselessly helpful @jesthehuman.itch.io)

itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...
"We created this bundle to raise funds for Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota in response to the Trump administration sending ICE agents to the Minneapolis area and the reckless murder of an innocent people by ICE agents. ILCM provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in Minnesota and North Dakota. They also work to educate the community about immigration matters and advocates for public policies which respect the universal human rights of immigrants. ILCM provides services based on capacity and has a generally high demand for services. The more we are able to fundraise, the more people they will be able to assist."
