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!

Well given the Discord news (Cancel your Nitros, I just did) this seems pretty relevant. I'm on Telegram if you'd like a non-Discord location to follow my art.

You’ve seen Aggrons in their normal steel and titanium colors, but what if they were iron and bronze?

An anthropomorphic Aggron from the Pokémon series, in a bara style with big muscles and a round belly. The colors are more orangey red and bronze, but the arms are coated in steel.

Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

Aight, Kingdom Hearts playthroughs are becoming a thing amongst my extended social circle so I need to make this clear:

DON'T

CHAIN OF MEMORIES

Play the GBA version if you've heard bad things about Re:COM! It introduces important characters and is a real showcase of the GBA's capabilities!

Artist mutuals, do you have any specific techniques for making stickers or emotes with consistent proportions? I want to finally update my own stickers but I have struggled in the past with not being able to draw myself in the same size and shape over multiple drawings.

Little update regarding streams (it's not bad don't worry I just need to do my chores)
Hello! I have been on hiatus from streaming as I have had a very busy January with travel, the convention, and other commitments. I had planned to return to streaming in February, but for several reasons I have decided to extend my hiatus indefinitely. This is not me quitting, and I am not burnt out from streaming. In fact, I miss it! My relationship with streaming has become much healthier in the last year. When I stream, it's because I want to, and I am not putting the same pressure on myself that I used to when I wanted to grow and become "successful". Now, my success comes from having fun and enjoying myself. That said, I did still commit myself to a schedule of sorts, and I realized I was still organizing and planning my life around that streaming schedule to a detrimental degree. There's a number of things in my personal life that I have been behind on or lamenting a lack of time to address that ultimately I can make happen. I just need to allow my mindset to realize that streaming is just another activity I do for fun, like playing videogames or watching youtube. I don't want it to be the reason I don't do necessary chores or miss putting time into personal projects that I really want to complete. So, I'll be back eventually; almost certainly within the first couple months of 2026. I just want to take some time to get myself in order. Going foward, when I stream it will no longer be on a firm schedule. Thanks everyone who has been watching my streams! If you are subbed, you can definitely cancel the subs for now and decide whether to resub later when I return. I have genuinely been really enjoying them and I feel confident I'll enjoy them even more when I have fewer albatrosses hovering over my head. -Bearic
