A lined drawing of two women; one is a pink-furred firbolg with long, dark pink hair and blue antler horns, wearing a yellow top and pink skirt. On her shoulders is a woman with pale skin and black and red split-dye hair, holding a bisexual Pride flag. A papercraft-style illustration of a werelion girl with short brown hair and blue eyes. She is wearing plate armor with a red cape, wielding a sword with flower motifs on it, looking confident and ferocious. The art is made to imitate cut and layered paper, with lots of texture and sticker stars dotted around. A lined reference sheet of a male humanoid character with dark brown and navy fur and birdlike feet. He has bright blue eyes, black sclera, silver and gold horns, dark hair with gray streaks, many scars, and lots of gold jewelry. His hair is styled in several braids and he has a long bushy tail. Above his head is a stylized crown shape that has snowflakes falling from it. He is shown from the front and back and in two different outfits, one casual and one leather and chainmail armor. There are close-ups of his face and all his jewelry pieces. An illustration of a DnD party sitting down to an elaborate meal. At the table are a goat centaur, a shadar-kai elf, a loxodon, two harpies, a kobold, a dog-shark hybrid, and a human. Lots of home-cooked food is laid on the table and all are filling their plates; the kobold, the chef, carries a large roast chicken to the table as the dog-shark snatches meat off of an adjacent plate. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and cozy, with warm lighting and lots of natural wood and plant life around.

Discord served its purpose almost flawlessly by 2021 and then constantly made itself worse over the ensuing years

The constant drive to change products that serve their purpose perfectly well really does exemplify the problems with an "endless growth" mindset

An portrait-style illustration of Arthur, an original character for a sci-fi, cyberpunk adjacent setting. Arthur is a Filipino man with brown skin, short black hair greying in a streak of hair on the crown of his head. He has a vertical scar on his lip and his right eyebrow. He wears a maroon collared jacket over top a textured turtleneck. He has a pair of black framed glasses. Most notable feature is his striking red eyes. He is against a blue-black gradient background with a green circle framing his form, almost like a halo. The lighting and tone of the artwork is serious, a harsh lighing source coming from the bottom left.

Hey y'all.

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.

Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Siaki, a tanuki like man, looks past the viewer in a setting sun. His big mulberry eyes are hard to read. Toma, a foxlike man, giggles in the setting sun, blushing softly. He stands opposite to the previous illustration, indicating Siaki is watching him laugh.

Your favorite progressive politicians are extremely horny for bills that restrict access. Elizabeth Warren is notoriously anti-SWer and keeps putting her name on these bills.

Said before will say again: even Bernie Sanders signed off on FOSTA-SESTA before he VERY tepidly said he shouldn't have.

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

An illustration of a purple tiefling, with braided hair, and yellow cat-like eyes. He is casting a spell, in front of him a light ball of magic is forming, some of the energy coming out of his chest, which has a glowing scar. He is wearing a red scarf with celestial symbols, and a blue coat which is open to let the magic flow.

Mind you this is no backtrack, they are just gaslighting you into thinking this won't affect you and the people you care.

Tumblr, Google, Facebook all these tech fuckers said the same and look where we are right now. No more giving the tech industry an inch.

Discord has posted updated clarification:

-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age

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
legendofnerd.bsky.social Brian M @legendofnerd.bsky.social · 1d
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!

it's not okay to write this off for "just" being NSFW channels! also op is right, we queers are getting shafted again no doubt.

"Don't worry about the Discord thing, it's only NSFW servers and channels that will require age verification! :)"

I could remove every speck of risque imagery/topics from my community and there's still a 50% chance we'd get flagged just because we're openly queer.

It's not actually about the kids.

Hey y'all, I made a document to condense my experiences with DayLITE if you'd like to give it a read.

He deleted a lot of his chat groups that I was in, so I wasn't able to grab a whole lot of screen shots - I'm pretty sure he even edited our own DM.

meet Atlanta ⚖️💖⌛

inspired by rich red velvets & sun/balance motifs
My Winx Club oc (or original character), Atlanta, pictured in her Enchantix transformation. She has deep brown skin with natural braids tied up in a high ponytail, set with a maroon tie and wearing a star-pointed golden crown. Her motif is teal and red with hints of gold, she is wearing a teal dress that descends into a fluffy back skirt with a red corset and red opera gloves. Her sandals are gold with tiny red gems and fastened in the shape of triangles. Her wings are two tiered, being mirror images of each other shaped as eyes. The top set has dark teal outlines with red irises and golden scleras, and the bottom set is large, ornate, almost sun-like eyelashes with one wing having a red eye and one having a blue one.
