Come on down to the Sip of Aether we have:

- Definitely not a succubus (she’ll just laugh if you ask what the crystals on the bar are for)
- A waitress who will take her tip directly from your wallet (for your convenience)
- A chef from S9 who’s *trying her best* to cook with real ingredients again

Lol, this isn’t a walk back this is just a kinder way to explain their policy.

Keeping canceling your shit and bullying the fuck out of @discord.com , they obviously haven’t gotten the message yet. Nothing short of the full removal of this will get me to resub to nitro.

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!

Surely she recognizes that chain is less an accessory and more an open challenge, right?

Portrait of a red-headed woman in a light pink cropped hoodie and sweatpants with the waistband of her underwear visible over the waistband of her sweatpants. A gold chain hangs beneath the hoodie, its ends seemingly attached to her covered nipples. She stands with her shoulders shrugged and a playful grin as though inviting the viewer to pull on the chain.

In the aftermath of Thordan's fall, many of Iceheart's heretics sought to throw down their arms and return to Ishgard. Alas, not all of their kinsfolk would welcome their return with open arms.
