@discord I'm actually a little interested in how fast another service will replace Discord. Invasive practices like these usually lead to a company's death. Just remembered I still had Discord Nitro active. That's cancelled now, not gonna need it when changing to Matrix.

@discord We really don't care if you think your partners are trusted. The steps you take make it clear that a sane person shouldn't trust you. You are not the parents of your users. The users parents are the parents of your users. Stop overstepping.

We’ve seen some questions about our age assurance update and we want to share more clarity. We know how important these changes are to our community. Here’s what we want you to know: ‣‣‣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗗 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱. ‣‣‣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲. You need to be an adult to access age-restricted experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check. When additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. ‣‣‣ 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁. We hope this helps to clarify some of your questions. This work is important because building a safer Discord requires a thoughtful approach alongside the communities who make Discord special. --------------- Frequently Asked Questions 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ No. The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age. In a minority of cases when additional confirmation is required, we offer multiple privacy-forward options through trusted partners. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦? ‣‣‣ You must be a confirmed adult to access age-restricted content and experiences such as age-restricted servers and channels or to modify certain safety settings. The majority of Discord users don’t access age restricted content and will never go through a facial age estimation flow or ID verification. In the minority of cases where we cannot confirm you as an adult and you need to access age-restricted areas and settings, then you will be asked to go through additional steps. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢? ‣‣‣ We only get your age from the ID verification process and an estimated age range from Facial Age Estimation. We use this information for safety purposes and to help us deliver age appropriate experiences on Discord. We will not use your age assurance information to target you with advertisements, and we don't sell your data. You can control how we use your data. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘌𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (”𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘪𝘦”) 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ If you choose Facial Age Estimation, you’ll be prompted to record a short video selfie of your face. The Facial Age Estimation technology runs entirely on your device in real time when you are performing the verification. That means that facial scans never leave your device, and Discord and vendors never receive it. We only get your age group. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘥? ‣‣‣ Discord’s age assurance experience was designed to respect user privacy. We are partnering with dedicated age assurance vendors who specialize in performing these verifications in a privacy-forward way. These vendors were not involved in the September 2025 data breach of our customer service agent. ‣‣‣ Our vendors perform these verifications in a way to minimize the data collected and stored. For FAE, the video selfie is processed on device and never stored. IDs are processed to get your age only and then deleted. Your identity is never associated with your Discord account.

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ We leverage an advanced machine learning model developed at Discord to predict whether a user falls into a particular age group based on patterns of user behavior and several other signals associated with their account on Discord. We only use these signals to assign users to an age group when our confidence level is high; when it isn't, users go through our standard age assurance flow to confirm their age. We do not use your message content in the age estimation model. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬? ‣‣‣ Discord’s content safety filters are part of our broader Teen Safety Assist and safety-by-default approach. They help reduce exposure to certain categories of potentially sensitive image-based media, especially for teens. ‣‣‣ Mature Sexual Media Filter: Helps identify visual media that may contain sexually explicit or suggestive material involving adults ‣‣‣ Graphic Media Filter: Helps identify image-based media that may contain violent or potentially disturbing visual material ‣‣‣ These filters apply only to images and videos. They do not scan text messages, voice, or calls, and they are designed to support age-appropriate experiences while preserving private conversations. --------------- For more details check out our blog here: discord.com/safety/how-dis…

@requimoi Technically she's right... but it's only 1% of the guys who actually need to go home first. As long as it's the violent 1%.

👤: let me get you a taxi, it's dangerous for women to be alone on the street jaehee: you can go home first sir. if all men go home early, wouldn't it be safer for women to walk alone at night? 👤: .....that's genius CLOCK IT JAEHEE 🤭

@imaimaeq2 @canceljohnnys @JSomalilive Only better for him if they let him go in one piece. If he continues like this he will not be.

@canceljohnnys @JSomalilive 日本に比べたら激情の国だしそらこうなるだろなと思った。 まあ泳ぐだけ泳がされて証拠を集められて逮捕勾留再逮捕勾留延長起訴裁判のフルコース味わうよりはマシなんじゃないかな。

@hagi_abdin57671 @GetWired_In @TheJoeySwoll Not of this particular one. There is of the situation, but I don't believe it is public. It belongs to Pure Muscle Gym and will likely only be used for evidence.

@GetWired_In @TheJoeySwoll Is it there a longer version of this video?

Yesterday a video surfaced of a very popular fitness creator, Jeff Nippard, being assaulted in the gym. Everyone began making videos but the first thing I did was message him (and his friends) privately to see if he's ok and ask if he even wants anyone to make videos or comment on the situation out of respect for him. Of course, some creators used him for views while some that know him personally and truly care did a great job like TNF covering the incident. I did NOT make a video or post (which I was attacked for) because to me what was most important was to speak to him first, make sure he's ok, then to find out exactly what happened and what the gym will do as well as be informed before making any video or any comment on the situation. I'm happy to say | had a long FaceTime with Jeff this morning. He's physically OK but mentally, although he's grateful for all the support, he's overwhelmed with all the attention online. Mike, the man who assaulted Jeff, has been kicked out of Pure Muscle Gym and turned himself in last night after Jeff pressed charges. It is NEVER ok to put your hands on someone the way Mike did to Jeff, in the gym or ANYWHERE. This absolutism in the fitness industry needs to STOP. No matter your beliefs, the gym is ONE community, a brother/sisterhood, and we need to respect each other with ZERO tolerance for violence.

@alyssa_merc You're one of the most radicalized people out there, just in another direction. You're really not fit to comment on the other side.

@IGN @IGNPlaylist Shameless vote tampering by @IGN themselves. You keep proving to people why you should have no relevancy whatsoever. Funny that 10-15 years ago and before that I enjoyed your content.

What's your GOTY so far? Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is still the IGN community's top game of 2024, with Shadow of the Erdtree, Helldivers 2, and Astro Bot not far behind. Check out this @IGNPlaylist of the full Top 25: bit.ly/3XTR2cl

@ironmouse Well deserved to have this resolved, happy for you! Now let's hope Youtube makes an example out of the people who orchestrated this.

CRYING EVEN MORE NOW MAIN CHANNEL IS NOW BACK. THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INCREDIBLE LOVE AND SUPPORT AND ADVICE. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY STRESSFUL TIME BUT I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK. I LOVE YOU GUYS THANK YOU!

@JazzLikesToGame So this goes for everyone, but you? You're talking about this because you hate that people pile on shit games... which is what you're advocate against and doing at the same time.

Gaming twitter needs to hear this one:

@AdamShurey @Grummz @crapstacular Oh but it is a hit-piece. @crapstacular was butt-hurt because Game Science wouldn't work with an acquaintance of theirs and therefore did what they could to smear their name.

@Grummz @crapstacular Sharing someone’s own words and reporting on the related controversy isn’t a “hit piece”. That’s all that happened. You can’t just label everything you don’t like a hit piece. Anyone who wants to can read it for themself. ign.com/articles/how-b…

The co-author of the Black Myth: WuKong hit piece article for IGN is @crapstacular

@king_kazino @KBrizl @Mick_Gordon This is an old post to respond to, but ID Software, Bethesda and Marty Stratton(Executive Producer) royally screwed over Mick Gordon who produced the music for Doom. Then they blamed it all on Mick in a public reddit post and circlejerked him with legal threats. Mick refuted it.

To those taking action against the game, please spare a thought for all the talented people who worked incredibly hard to make the game you enjoyed. The team's work, which drew critical acclaim, deserves celebration, and their efforts should not be the target of a protest.

@bethesda "We stand ready with full and complete documented evidence" Seems like you're eager to keep said evidence to yourself. My guess is releasing actual communication regarding the matter would make you look even worse.

@abigaillutz7 @bilalgujj1 You already have been.

@Pilestedt @xo_yons @ShamsJorjani @ArrowheadGS It would be cool if the more skilled dev players teamed up with the best Helldivers 2 players to see how things work in the most skilled lobbies. It's also important to remember not all equipment needs to have the same skill floor and ceiling as long as it's balanced at the top.

Very good question. First thing we got to do is ensure we get more devs time playing the game. It's hard to make the right decisions if the eyes aren't on the road. Secondly, I want to ensure we actively look at the sentiment and create a holistic view of WHY feedback is given. And my working theory is that TTK is too high.

Hey everyone, Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games) But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!

@BluWarfareHD @PirateSoftware @PlayStation Sony sold the game to over 100 countries on PC that would not be able to play it after they activated the PSN link requirement. If they had not done this it wouldn't be such a scandal. People who bought the game 1st of May had it bricked a few days later.

@PirateSoftware @PlayStation Yet it's fine for Microsoft to require Playstation players to create a Microsoft account to play Sea of Thieves🤔 Or EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, etc to also require account linking on Steam🤔 Mmm, I love the smell of hypocrisy.

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward. We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

@PlayStation When are you going to let the people who bought your game play it again? The steam page is STILL requiring PSN and it is STILL blocked in a whole lot of countries on Steam.

@entropy_Law @PirateSoftware @PlayStation Also, they haven't even fixed it yet, still waiting for that.

@AzurenTheGamer @entropy_Law @PirateSoftware @PlayStation No. It's the opposite. Letting them believe it has to take this much to BEGIN to clean up their shitty behavior is outrageous. Blocking millions who has bought the game from playing is criminal and that their game has to take such a beating for them to realise it is wild.

@TheAsterite74 @Paradox_EP @PlayStation Devs knew about it during development. They disabled it 1 week after launch, but never removed the eventual requirement from the store page or game startup. They didn't know many people buying the game would be locked out though, that's what the problem was.

@Paradox_EP @PlayStation The Devs didn't care. they knew about it for 6 months

@PlayStation Next step is to fix the Steam Store page:
