Youve gotta bother the shit out if your representatives about the issue of online ID laws, its not a discord only problem nor is it limited to nsfw content
Please get involved

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Guys, dont immediately jump ship. Complain on Discords forums. Spam their emails. Make noise. We'll never tackle the overlying problem if we just keep jumping ship.
Discord is easy to bully out of doing shit. We've made them stop doing NFT shit. We can stop them taking ID's. :)

I have less than a week to come up with over $5,300 or else I'm likely facing eviction, after being scammed by a fraudulent job for months that drained what little I had. I've been unemployed since Aug 2024 and am struggling to keep it together at all since then. Please help...

Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

istg, youtube better not be sunsetting the page showing videos from subscribed channels in upload order. first they hid the button to go to that page in a less intuitive place, now they covered up nearly the whole page with a new "Most Relevant" section to make it look identical to the home page

Adobe announced it's killing off Animate (formerly Flash), abandoning millions of artists who depend on the software while continuing its push into AI-heavy toolsets.

just spent 3 straight days writing, recording and editing a 53-minute video before realizing it had absolutely no business being that long and I was unhappy enough with the result to feel the need to at least start over from near-scratch if not just scrap the whole thing, whoops

well I was close, I guess Twigs' lack of pop success felt less music industry-coded to me but she has been around longer and did a throwback-y thing so that makes sense. anyway, meh to these categories bsky.app/profile/256p...

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.
Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.
We are angry, feral, and tired.
Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
