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!

"Why do you care if you have to ID yourself online you have to ID if you go into a bar irl or buy booze or go into a sex shop"

Yeah cool but the cashier behind the counter at the sex shop doesn't log my full government name, age, height, gender and birth place if I go in there to buy a dildo.

I’ll be spending some time this week setting up a matrix.org server for my community

I don’t plan to shutter my discord server but hosting my own community’s chat home server has been on my todo list for a while. This is a great reason to bump that up.

Alright everyone, which alternative are we migrating to?

Teamspeak, Matrix, Spacebar, or...?

A migration to a different platform does best when there is with a group to stay with.

Another thing I think its about finding a space to heal mentally because this year has already started really rough and the space (Friends Discord) that I went too is now mostly empty all the time or everyone is in the same boat as me.

Maybe its also that there is no social outlet I can go to to decompress, small midwest deep red conservative town in bum fuck nowhere really don’t have those, really the only thing I have is internet doom scrolling or discord.

Haven’t been able to hang with friends in VC due to anxiety, I like being in a comfortable VC and being quiet while absorbing the atmosphere but at the same time i feel like if i don’t contribute to the conversation / discussion in some way I don’t need to be there. its complicated.

We are Boston and we will never abandon our values.

Today, with mayors and city managers from Cambridge, Chelsea, Lynn, Newton, Brookline, Medford, and Somerville, I signed an “Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional and Violent Federal Operations.”
