Discord has added generative AI features to servers.

Here are THREE THINGS you need to do today.

1️⃣ YOUR SERVER

Go into server settings -> roles -> Default permissions

Search for "external apps" and disable it

2️⃣ YOUR FEEDBACK

Access Discord support -> https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Go into Help & Support > Feedback/New Feature Request

Denounce generative AI and request the feature be removed. Bring up privacy concerns for yourself, your data, and for minors.

You will get an automatic reply to this request- PLEASE REPLY TO THE EMAIL TO PUSH IT TO THE TEAM or else it will get discarded.

3️⃣ ON MOBILE

Access your app store

Leave a 1 star review and publicly denounce generative AI and Discord's use of it

Reblog this to spread the word, I'm tired of the enshittification of the things I use in my day to day life.

Important to note that disabling external apps only wont send the created result publicly, so there is no proper opt out. Raise hell over this.

You can also individually report the apps discord is using for this by their app pages on discord itself, by clicking the three dots and report ; here are the links to all apps ;

https://discord.com/discovery/applications/1153984868804468756

I personally stated that it violates copyright of my work and I’d cease to use discord if at the very least, a proper opt out is not implemented. I also cited moderation concerns.

You can also add input here and here (discord’s feedback forums, already created - even just upvoting says something)

Make sure to cancel your nitro or say so if you were planning to get nitro but now no longer considering, because money talks.

In terms of a discord alternative, I’ve heard of Revolt (app.revolt.chat)

edit as of recent - you can ban the DomoAI bot by its user id (1153984868804468756) and the /ban command.

here’s all four bot ids ;

that feel when you stop trying to please your father, accept who you really are (gay), and then are immediately confronted with the fact that the friend of the 12 yr old youve were stalking for an entire year is actually an extremely cute boy

I hate that the stock response for "I'm lonely/I feel undervalued by my loved ones/I want a romantic partner" is "well do you value YOURSELF? You need to learn to enjoy being alone!" as if lonely people aren't very intimately familiar with being alone. Self esteem and love are important but they're not substitutes for companionship or friendship or romance and pretending that loneliness is a personal failure that can be fixed by self-improvement feels not only delusional but pretty cruel

“I don’t think that every villain in the world actually thinks they’re being a good guy, but I do think that everybody creates a value system that justifies the actions they’re taking, and and I think there’s a difference between those two things. Not everybody believes that they’re on the side of righteousness, but everybody has a way of justifying the actions they’re taking. Not every villain has to be a misunderstood hero, and in fact I think there are a lot of instances throughout history of people who were obviously doing the wrong thing and probably had an understanding of that on some level, but had some rationale or justification for it. A lot of villains in literature and media have these weird, Thanos-esque philosophies of what it is that they’re trying to do, and I think human motivation tends to come from more primal places than that. So a lot of the villains I write can be brilliant or clever (and, in fact, probably should be), but their motivation tends to be primal. They wanna be rich, they wanna have power, they wanna live forever. There’s something deep down that is, when you break it down, not too complex. Right? If you look at the real world, the people that are doing bad stuff don’t need complex motivations. They wanna rule the world! They wanna be rich! They wanna be unafraid that other people can ever screw them over, so they screw other people over. Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundanes of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.”

(I found this quote to be really meaningful in like…life in general which is why I posted it here. When he said “evil is boring”, it felt like something clicked in me that I had known deep down but hadn’t had the words for.) (via @earthmoonlotus)

I feel like witches are sedentary and wizards are migratory. A witch has a home, a cauldron, herbs, you go to them with your problem. A wizard wanders, disappears, shows up at inconvenient times to fix nothing. am i making sense

i’m all for peter being portrayed as a teenager bc that’s just classic spidey, and if you prefer him being portrayed as a teenager that’s fine we all have preferences. my only issue with it is that people who only watch the spidey films and don’t read the comics are really missing out on some good adult peter moments. like right now in the comics peter parker is around 30 years old and watching him interact with younger superheroes is really heart-warming, because he’s been there and he gets how hard it can be, he feels responsible for these kids

and then there’s the renew your vows comic where he’s an actual dad married to mary jane, and they have a daughter who’s named annie may. and that series is full of really fun stories, plus it’s interesting to see how peter juggles being spidey and being a dad/husband and how those two things intertwine, also the dad jokes are endless

teenage peter parker is a timeless version, but that version is shown so much (especially in film) that it seems like a lot of spidey fans feel like adult peter wouldn’t be as good or true to his character which just isn’t true, so if you’re ignoring the adult version of peter parker then you’re seriously missing out on great character development/stories that show peter’s journey and his character more than anything

[video description:

a person sitting at a table is talking into the camera.

"i have nothing to hide... which is a shame, because i love hiding stuff! i love making or buying secret hiding spaces."

they pick up a leather wrapped book.

"so like, i love hollowing out books. and you now, people- you could say, well probably you would hide drugs in there. well, i don't do drugs"

they open the book to reveal a green pill bottle hidden in a cut out space in the pages

"but i do take flonase for my seasonal allergies, so i put those in this one, because it kinda feels like taking drugs. but my whole apartment is filled with stuff like this."

the camera cuts to the view of a permanent maker on a table.

"like this perfectly normal permanent marker."

they take off the cap of the marker, and put it back on.

"well, it's actually hollow and on the inside is..."

they take off the back of the marker to reveal a small pink marker inside.

"a smaller permanent marker!"

the camera cuts to a bookshelf. they remove a book from the shelf.

"now this obviously is a copy of inside baseball, which is a perfect place, i figured out to hide-"

they open the book to reveal a miniature baseball in a cut out space in the pages.

"-my tiny baseball"

the camera cuts to a storage shelf. they retrieve a giant bolt from the shelf.

"this is a normal looking giant bolt that i just keep in my closet."

the camera cuts to a close-up of the bolt. they are screwing off a part of the bolt.

"you can screw off the bottom, and you can fit a tiny vial in there, which is perfect for..."

they tip the bolt over and a small vial containing white pills falls out.

"-that's my claritin. that's my other allergy medicine."

the camera cuts to a framed print of the great wave painting.

"there is nothing cooler than a wall save behind framed art. and i'm not allowed to poke holes into my wall, because it's a rental."

they move the painting to the side to reveal a wall safe behind it.

"but this is a picture of a wall safe! which is almost as good."

they fiddle with the wall safe, demonstrating that it is just a cut out picture pasted to the wall.

"since i wouldn't have anything to put in the wall safe anyway!"

the camera cuts to a fridge, just as the door is being opened.

"in the fridge i've got a totally normal looking doctor pepper."

they retrieve a can of doctor pepper from the fridge. the camera cuts to a close-up of the can.

"but of course the top screws off, and inside that is my benadryl! or bennies."

they screw open the top of the can and shake some pink pills from the can into the palm of their hand.

"these are for my night time allergies!"

the camera cuts to the boot of a car that is being opened.

"back of my car"

the camera cuts to a bin in the boot of the car. they remove a can of tire foam from the bin.

"looks like tire foam."

they unscrew the bottom of the can and pull out a yellow pill bottle.

"this is where i store my dramamine! which is kinda like i'm allergic to motion too!"

the camera cuts to four copies of shakespeare plays next to each other on a bookshelf.

"and this looks like it's just four shakespeare b-sides together, but if you pull out the bottom-"

they remove all four books at once and turn them over to reveal a hole that is cut through all four books, containing a can, which they pull out.

"there is actually a can of peaches"

they flip over the can to reveal a handle at the bottom

"but the can of peaches is fake, and inside is a rock!"

they open the fake bottom and retrieve a rock from the can.

"but that rock is fake"

they turn the rock over and slide off a cover to reveal a key.

"it's a hide-a-key! and that key-"

they remove a dictionary from the bookshelf.

"is perfect for opening the dictionary!"

they open the dictionary to reveal a keyhole.

"which is secretly a metal safe. and inside that i put-"

they unlock and open the safe to reveal several filled ziplock bags, removing one after another.

"the doctor pepper! and the tire foam! and the pages from the shakespeare books! and the peaches!"

they hold up the ziplock bag of peach slices to the camera.

"which i am allergic to."
