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!

more roxrose bc i have a disease (man i gotta think of a better name for them bc that sounds like a ship name 💔)

[ #homestuck #homesmut #roselalonde #roxylalonde #conjoined #conjoinment #multiboob #multibreast ]

various drawings of a conjoined rose and roxy. on the top, rose smacks a donut out of roxy's hand with a "Nope." roxy gives her a pleading look, to which rose says "It's MY waistline too, Roxy."

on the bottom, the two pose leaning forward. rose looks off to the side, embarrassed. her hand rests on her hip. roxy looks forward with an enthusiastic smile, her hand raised in a peace sign. their chest is covered with two overlapping bikini tops- roxy's boob has a pink cup, rose's a purple one, and their middle boob covered with one of each

various drawings of a conjoined rose and roxy. on the left, rose struggles to reach high enough to grab a bottle of alcohol off of a shelf. roxy frantically looks at her phone, telling rose "rose shes gonna be home in 5 we gotta get our ass upstairs FAST", to which rose replies "Hold on... I've almost got it..." the two are wearing a solid pink t-shirt and lavender pants covered in cartoon cat faces

on the right, the two are drawn from the chest up, wearing (what can be assumed to be) a nondescript red dress. rose looks toward the camera with a smirk as she pulls the neckline down, exposing her boob and most of their middle boob to the viewer. roxy is blushing, sweating, and looking away with a worried expression

mega jacinthe doodel

[ #pokemon #jacinthe #rapidash #centaur #taur #crotchboobs #multiboob ]

a quick, rough drawing of jacinthe as a galarian rapidash centaur. crudely-drawn waves of mega energy surround her, and her horse body has two large, feathery wings. her crotchboobs are bigger and she has four now instead of two. her horn glows a bright white with lavender and blue stripes
