So Discord is doubling down. No surprises here. Their age verification rollout bullshit is delayed to the second half of the year. discord.com/blog/getting...

What We're Changing Right Now

We heard you, and we want to get this right. So here's what's happening:

We’re delaying our global rollout to the second half of 2026. Where we have legal obligations, we will continue to meet them, but we will only expand globally after we've done the following:

1. Adding more verification options. We already had alternatives in development, including credit card verification. We’ll complete and expand those before scaling globally so you have more options you’re comfortable with.

2. Vendor transparency. We’ll document every verification vendor and their practices on our website, and make it clear in the product who each vendor is. We’ve also set a new requirement: any partner offering facial age estimation must perform it entirely on-device. If they don’t meet that bar, we won’t work with them.

3. A new spoiler channel option. We know many communities use age-restricted channels not for adult content, but for topics people prefer to engage with on their own terms: spoilers, politics, and heavier conversations. We’re building a dedicated spoiler channel option so communities don’t have to age-gate their server just to give members that choice.

4. A technical blog post before global launch. We’ll publish a detailed post explaining how our automatic age determination systems work, including the signal categories and privacy constraints. So you can evaluate our approach for yourselves.

5. Age assurance data in our transparency reports. We’ll include how many users were asked to verify, what methods they used, and how often our automated systems handled it without any user action.

What We're Actually Trying to Do

Our goal is straightforward: keep the Discord experience completely unchanged for the vast majority of people while ensuring an age-appropriate experience for everyone. Over 90% of users will never need to verify their age to continue using Discord exactly as they do today. This is powered in part by our internal safety systems, which can already make an age determination for many adult users without any user action. We'll publish the methodology behind this in a technical blog post before we launch globally.

We know many of you believe the right answer is not to do this at all. We hear you. We also know these changes carry different weight for different communities, and that for some, questions of privacy and identity aren't just preferences but safety concerns shaped by real experience. That's not lost on us, and it directly informs the choices we're making. We also know, from running this platform for more than 10 years, that teens need real safeguards. The number of teenagers on Discord has significantly increased since the pandemic, and they deserve an experience appropriate to their age. At the same time, we believe adults should be able to have a full content experience on Discord. Doing both responsibly means having safeguards that help ensure age-restricted content stays in adult spaces.

But the specific way age assurance works (the verification methods, the compliance requirements) is being shaped by legislation already in effect in the UK and Australia, with Brazil quick to follow, and Europe and multiple US states close behind. By building this ourselves, we can show regulators that it's possible to verify age without collecting identity.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

For 90%+ of users, nothing changes. Most users never access age-restricted content or change their default safety settings. For those who do, we have an internal system that works to accurately determine your age. Discord already runs safety systems that catch spam rings, prevent raids, and detect coordinated abuse, powered by our rules engine (which we just open sourced as Osprey for other platforms to use). Age determination works the same way, using the same category of account-level signals: how long your account has existed, whether you have a payment method on file, what types of servers you're in, and general patterns of account activity. It does not read your messages, analyze your conversations, or look at the content you post. We know "trust us" isn't enough here, which is why we'll publish the methodology before global launch.

If you're among the less than 10% of users who do need to verify, we'll give you options, designed to tell us only your age and never your identity. And if you choose not to verify, here’s exactly what happens: you keep your account, your servers, your friends list, your DMs, and voice chat. The only thing that changes is you won't be able to access age-restricted content or change certain default safety settings designed to protect teens. Nothing else about your Discord experience changes.

Your age group is private. No other user on Discord can see it.

@vivziepop.bsky.social From a non-canon POV, Which name change do you prefer if Alastor really did join the Vees? Alastor changing his name to start with a V [i.e. Valastor], or The Vees becoming AVs [Audio Visuals]?

Im playing Genshin after a long hiatus of the whole VA strike thing, and I'm pissed half the characters arent voiced. My blame mostly goes to Hoyo, multi-billion dollar company, for not getting on that quick enough because its been MONTHS. @sonicmega.bsky.social Ty for being one voice in this trial

@rtgame.bsky.social I know theres a slim chance youll see this but as a smaller Hollow Knight content creator, Im sorry you got any backlash from the community. Silksong is a hard game with a learning curve as any respectable game does. I hope you can play the game on your own time & not stress 💙
