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!

Вся эта идея дискорда с верификацией возраста и "детскими" профилями для всех - такой ёбаный пиздец и сюр... Какого х* спрашивается? Интернет - площадка для взрослых априори, и дети там - на свой страх и риск, и на риск их родителей. Так было по задумке. Интернет как инструмет работы взрослых.

Последнее время дико подсел на консервированного тунца. Салат с тунцом, тунец с кимчи, можно просто тунец из банки (хотя так но суховат). У меня не хватит денег на эту фиксу… А хочется!

It’s about five years I've been in the permanent art-block. It’s about a year I haven't drawn at all. It's been six months since I was diagnosed with depression and started treatment.

If you judge an idea before drawing it, you're missing out on seeing it's full potential. Ideas are unclear and unfinished in our mind. Draw it first, give it life, then decide if it's worth continuing.

Декабрь пролетел как в том меме - моргнул и уже конец (почти). И я нифигасики не успел сделать кроме как устать ещё больше. А конец месяца видимо ознаменуют семейные разборки... Хоть бы в этот раз оно всё рассосалось тихонечко. Сил разруливать это всё нет совсем.

If you don't know what to practice drawing, use this system: - Avoid overthinking (or journal your concerns) - Warm up with automatic drawing - As your drawing develops, ask yourself: Where do I lack confidence in this drawing? - Take note, study that specific topic later

You’re not incapable of creative success. You’re afraid of: - Judgement - Being different - Asking for what you’re worth - Sharing your work Afraid of being wholly and authentically you. Here’s permission.

Боль артера - это когда арт получается, но по ходу трансформируется в другую задумку. Ты хотел нарисовать философское, а получился доместик-флафф…
