Age Verification?

Let me show you my favorite ways to annoy people on MSN
Age verification?

Here's the top 8 people on my friends list on Myspace. 👌
Age verification?

Here’s a chronological list of the song lyrics I put up as my AIM away message.

Any time they say "The vast majority won't be impacted", that's a lie. Always. Keep pushing back.
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)

Unironically fucking wack how the pony kids show has me appreciate people close to me that much more and out of all the characters the one I identify most with is the pink one because my nightmare is 100% losing my friends because I'm not enough for them.

Brother I just wanna be able to call and play games with my friends, since coming back to homestuck I met some really cool friends and losing the Homestuck read-through and the occasional us just kickin' it would genuinely fuck with the whole system I think.

Genuinely you know who you are. You guys are the reason I'm doing so much better lately and I'm genuinely messed up from all of this.

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.

It seems Stoat is having issues so I can't make an account right now.

That being said, I am genuinely distressed about this. I will have to move my entire server and hope folks are willing to join me.

I love The Purple Haven too fucking much, it has potential damnit, I wont let it die.

Not in the US? They may just have an office in your country, call that and complain. file a support ticket and call, bully the absolute fuck out of them.
February 9, 2026 at 7:27 PM
Tell them you're cancelling Nitro (if you have it), tell them you will be seeking an alternative, bluff, do whatever you gotta. Make sure that shit goes on file or something idk I've never done this before either!
February 9, 2026 at 7:26 PM
Also, yeah actually, blow up their inboxes, fuck over their system. CALL THEM.

GET OVER YOUR FEAR OF PHONECALLS, CALL THEM. I'm sure someone has made a script by now but here's a good start.

"I'd like to file a complaint about the upcoming age verification system"

Discord's customer service email is no longer supported but their contact forms are open! Fair warning, you have to create a seperate Discord Support account in order to file a complaint

If you have a subscription with them too, cancel it. If their users can't reach them, loss of profits will
I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact

I would try submitting a complaint through there.

The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

As much as I agree that it’s obviously very important right now to put pressure on the admin to release the full Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators involved

This org is anti-sex work, pro-Nordic model, and classifies consensual sex work as exploitation.
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors
