Hi, I'm Nyss!
I think about Metroid Prime (2002) for the Nintendo GameCube every single day

despite what this post may say: this is not a walkback. this is a reiteration. we already knew this information. do not fall for unwise propaganda. keep the pressure on, financially or verbally. barrage them.

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!

i never had a bad breakup before, so i used this scam text to practice my romance crash out

please rate my practice crash out, thank you
Screen shot of a text message conversation: "Last time you told me about your favorite restaurant in Beverly Hills, which one was it again? I’m moving back to LA for Christmas. Let’s go try it together!" "James, I don't understand How did you get my number I don't live in Beverly Hills anymore If you're moving down to LA, don't get your hopes up about living on my sofa again, especially if you're going to bitch and whine about how Mary isn't good enough for me and that you're somehow the only man for me (you're not) I hope you'll find what you're looking for in LA, because it's not me I hope you at least treat the next woman you're with more decency than you treated me Do not reach out to me again" Screen shot of a text message conversation: "Wait, aren't you Amanda? I'm Anna." "Didn't realize you changed your name from James. If you go by Anna now, I'm happy for you for that, but that doesn't change how you treated me" Screen shot of a text message conversation: "Didn't realize you changed your name from James. If you go by Anna now, I'm happy for you for that, but that doesn't change how you treated me" "？？？？I completely don't understand what you're talking about. Amanda, you must be crazy." "That's what you told everyone, huh. That I'm crazy. That I'm finally learning to love myself and my ex reaches out again out of the blue, after all that's happened, and somehow I'm the crazy one"

There were no good photos of old Breath Savers packaging so a Wikipedia editor created this digital illustration. I'm not EXACTLY sure why the background is this random dwarf planet but I think I quite like it

Not all of the imagery gets vetted. I had to publicly yell at them to remove "stock images" that used my name and were generated using my portfolio without my permission. And I wasn't the only artist, there's been a consistent flood of images with dubious sourcing all over Adobe Stock.
Screenshot of a tweet by Abigail Larson to Adobe reading "Hi Adobe just curious, what is this page full of hideous AI imagery "in the style of Abigail Larson" that's obviously not my work doing on your site?" The three images show AI generated stock photos for sale with "in the style of Abigail Larson" in each title.

New users be VERY CAUTIOUS about whose block lists you subscribe to. There are more than a few users that create them maliciously and will label them things like "child abu$e supporters" then add people they simply don't like
