Found most of my old Twitter moots so now I'm looking for new ones.

Follow me if you like Fire Emblem (Fates especially), Zelda, Final Fantasy XIV, Metroid, or Warhammer 40k

This was not an inevitability.

This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.

It does not have to be this way.

Final Fantasy 14’s Wuk Lamat won the patreon poll so here she is~

I haven’t gotten to Dawntrail myself yet but all the art I’ve seen of this lady has been amazing. Love me a big buff kitty! I bet she gives great hugs…

#ffxiv
Digital illustration of Final Fantasy 14’s Wuk Lamat, painted in front of a lush green flowery landscape against a clear blue sky. She is drawn from the waist up and is holding her great axe in her hands, facing towards the sun with a big warm smile.

#SigmaPosting
A partially traced, partially redrawn frame from the quote posted Charlie Brown comic panel. Replacing Charlie Brown is Sigma, and replacing Lucy is Zero. Sigma stands stoically looking at Zero, who has a speech bubble that is unedited from the original image. "I feel torn between the desire to create and the desire to destroy." Added to the ground are some debris, one being the Green Biker Dude's helmet on the left, and Sigma's arm on the right.

OK one last shirt design, this one I just made because I personally wanted a shirt that said all this but couldn't find it anywhere. www.bonfire.com/ai-is-theft
A shirt design/illustration of a robot. The robot's head is a laptop showing a row of three blank white figures in suits. A speech balloon is coming from the figures, it says "$". In one hand the robot wields a police club, in the other it clutches a large canvas bag that has ripped open at the back from the amount of sheer amount of objects crammed into it. From the broken bag flows a large pile of artworks of varying types, in a rainbow of colors. The text reads "AI IS NOT ALIVE, AI IS NOT INTELLIGENT, AI IS ART THEFT" and underneath "BY AND FOR BILLIONAIRES".

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!

the reaction to this post tells me none of you actually read shit before getting outraged as all of this was already known information, not walking it back. this shouldn't appease you.

I had Discord Nitro for over 7 years. Not because it gave me amazing features but because I am in general a supporter of paying for software you use on a daily basis. Just cancelled it because of the incoming ID verification. I won't support this

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

Mòrag x Brighid! 💙🔥

#XenobladeChronicles #XenobladeChronicles2 #fanart
An illustration of Mòrag Ladair and her Blade, Brighid, (both of which from Xenoblade Chronicles 2), kissing! Mòrag wears shorter black hair, a dark cap with red lining and a gold visor, a dark uniform with white, red and gold lining. Brighid in comparison is a character with violet and long hair with two buns that alight blue flames, a blue pattern at the top of her forehead, and arms that are made up of blue crystals. She wears a blue, somewhat revealing dress that has her core crystal at the front of her chest. At the back is a Tora enjoying the show, with his Artificial Blade Poppi ready to hit him with the bonk stick!

anyways, don't get off discord yet; not because this isn't heinous but because we're currently in the post-horror scramble to find alternatives. give things a second to settle down so you can find out which ones suck and which ones don't. instead, cancel your nitro, yell at discord, and plan.

"THINK OF THE CHILDREN" has always been a plausible-deniability claim for fascists to erode our rights

If you have Discord Nitro, they have your Credit Card info.

Teens can't get Credit Cards, so that should be enough the "verify your age"

Your ID and *face-scan* is a disgusting privacy violation
