Making a quick PSA here: My previous Discord account got hacked, so I’ve created a new one. If you ever see me on Discord, make sure the username in my profile has a period at the end so you that it’s me!

Now that I’m at this part again, wanna talk about a headcanon of mine that on a repressed subconscious level Akechi does care about Sae and does want her Palace gone to keep her save from being targeted it. As much shit I give to everything else about Royal, it’s handling of Akechi I admit is a huge
A screenshot from Persona 5 explained how Sae having a change of heart would protect her.

The “they’re taking our jobs!!!!!!” Argument against immigration makes zero sense btw. Even if it’s true that you got laid off so your boss could hire an immigrant at poverty wages, the person to be mad at on behalf of both of you is your boss, not the immigrant just trying to survive lol

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

"the vast majority of you won't have to worry about this" I don't even fucking care if it turns out it's only three people that have to worry about this, it shouldn't be implemented, period. Keep cancelling your Nitro, they're clearly noticing

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

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!

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

Discord tries to reassure people that only a very small number of people will have to do this, since they've already have enough data of their users to determine who is an adult and who isn't, which - funnily enough - isn't reassuring at all.
