VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE🔥🔥
In case you missed it:

Sony has now introduced an anti-harassment policy that explicitly threatens consequences against customers they determine have crossed the line including restricting or terminating support and potentially involving lawyers or law enforcement.

This is an indirect threat. Guys, they’re literally threatening us now.

I won’t back down. I’ll keep criticizing them and telling them to go fuck themselves every single fucking day.

Instead of asking why customers are this fucking angry, why trust is collapsing and why people are turning against PlayStation, Sony’s response is to publish a policy telling those customers what could happen if THEY go too far.

You don’t get to piss off your customers and then act shocked when they get loud.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Sooner or later, you’ll realize the damage you’ve caused.

Fuck PlayStation
Fuck Sony

I gave Discord 10 years of my life. Now, we all need to start leaving.

I've been using Discord since I was 16 — it'll be 10 years this year. I've never cancelled my Discord Nitro since June 2017, and I've paid €5, then €10 every single month until today.

I became a member of the Discord HypeSquad Online as early as August 2017, then, when the program closed and was replaced by the 3-House HypeSquad test — which has now completely disappeared since summer 2025 — I joined Discord HypeSquad Events in 2019. Back then, you had to film a video to introduce yourself, explain your projects, what Discord had brought to your life. I did it with so much enthusiasm — I was proud to represent this software that had given me a social life for the very first time!

In 2022, I became a Discord Partner. I was one of the last Discord Partners to be accepted before the program was permanently shut down. I remember the joy I felt that day. It was the ultimate achievement! My first application dated back to December 2017, and at the time, Aspekt — I have no idea what became of him — told me that the Partnership was reserved for gaming communities. After yet another rejection, I was so sad that he gave me a t-shirt to comfort me (see the screenshot!).

Everything changed with COVID. Discord wanted to become a platform for everyone, not just gamers. I was really excited about this shift — at the time, I was running a community about autism! In November 2022, I happily attended a meetup for French-speaking Discord Partners on the sidelines of Paris Games Week! That's where I met Discord staff for the first time: Mindy & Eva. I had nowhere to sleep that night, I'd come from far away, I didn't want to miss the event for anything in the world, so they paid for a night in a luxury hotel for me. It was insane — I cried tears of joy.

That's the last good memory I have with Discord.
After that, everything slowly but surely started to fall apart.

The programs closed one after another.
HypeSquad Events, Partner, then Verified. The hiatus remained indefinite, then the servers were deleted or archived. Every time, they promised us it was temporary, yet we could clearly see that one by one, all the Discord staff in charge of community projects were being laid off. It started with Mallory's departure. Discord lost one of its most popular staff members, and it ended with Quikblend's layoff.
Names you all know if you were even slightly involved in the scene between 2017 and 2024.

As you've probably gathered, I had a genuine autistic obsession with Discord. I still regularly wear my Partner hoodie, I proudly display the figurine given to all Partners — the last gift Discord ever gave its community program at Christmas 2023. Discord was THE PLACE TO BE. The team truly listened to us, there was a real sense of equality between the community and its representatives. I've lost count of how many community projects brought us all together. Never had a social platform managed to be so much on the side of its users.

And now, everything has changed. None of this happened overnight. Over the years, Discord was taken over. By whom, why, I don't know. I didn't look into it.
They started force-feeding us Nitro ads, moderation became opaque, with no contact whatsoever possible with the Trust & Safety team anymore. Discord's 10th anniversary was, and I'm not joking, one of the most anticlimactic events in History. I have better memories of the 7th anniversary than the 10th!
And then advertising arrived in the form of Quests. And then the cosmetics shop, name plates, avatar decoration. And as if that wasn't enough, to really milk us like cash cows, gradient colors and server guilds require additional boosts to be used. And there I am, like an idiot, still buying.

I'm sorry to put it this way, but everything has turned to shit.

The nail in the coffin for me was the announcement of mandatory age verification for everyone. Even though, in theory, I wouldn't be affected — having recently received a message from Discord saying I'd been placed in the adults group — I am disgusted by this ultimate betrayal, this umpteenth spit in the face of a community whose staff was once closer than ever.

Discord holds a monopoly on instant messaging.
After climbing the ranks, overcoming adversity, burying its competitors, Discord did what every company in its position has done: enshittification.

I don't blame them for everything. I understand that the internet bubble born from COVID burst, that spending cuts had to be drastic, but in the meantime, something changed at Discord. A Reddit user was already warning in 2024 about deteriorating working conditions, and you can find plenty of testimonies on Glassdoor.

They haven't been on our side for a long time, and if I needed one last piece of proof to convince myself, here it is. Palantir, Peter Thiel, the Epstein Files. This post is already long enough without me adding more — do your own research, it's vomit-inducing.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm now actively looking for an alternative to Discord.
The transition won't happen overnight, and since my social life is still essentially on this platform, it'll take me months, maybe 1 to 2 years, but I'm going to leave this app, and I fully intend to take my entire community with me.

Discord has had its time, and from now on, I'm calling for the emergence of an alternative with its own identity, one capable of going back to the roots of what made Discord successful in the first place. The fact is that Discord is now incapable, in every regard, of embodying that.I am so, so disappointed. These memories only live in my head now.

Now, we all need to start leaving.
They really ruined everything.

Congratulations @collectiveshout, you have effectively, done nothing.

The free games removed will be relisted, because they do not violate any laws, and will continue to be made available for all to goon and enjoy.

Once there is an alternative to the current payment processor shenanigans, then the remaining games delisted will indeed, return.

All collective shout and @visa and @mastercard did was open the discussion for alternatives, which is the worst thing you can do as a business- pushing people to your competitors.

Creators will not be silenced, you cannot control the flow of creativity and expression. But keep screaming at companies who do "breast cancer charity fund raising wrong", I am certain you are making so many fans by doing that.

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

Let me summarize everything that's happened in the last week

>Collective Shout contacts payment processors to get Steam and Itch io to remove adult games

>Steam removes 100s of games and creates a entirely new policy to lick the boots of Payment Processers

>Day later Itch io removes their entire Adult Game category

>UK "Online Safety Act" comes into effect restricting the internet for the entire country to "Protect Children"

>Within 24 hours UK creates a Police Task-force to monitor political opinions of its citizens

>Europe gets hit by "Age Restriction" in some sites too and they find out the "Restricted Internet" is coming for them too

>People find out American bill titled "Kids Online Safety Act" is introduced into Congress to do the same thing

>Wikipedia is being asked to censor itself for the UK

>Search Engines are now stuck in safemode for certain countries restricting internet

>Mouthwashing a horror game on Itch io is removed thanks to Payment Processors and Collective Shout

>UK is trying to force American companies to censor themselves after the "Online Safety Act" came into effect

I'M GONNA LOSE MY F-CKING MIND.

I HATE KARENS.

I HATE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

I HATE PARENTS THAT DON'T MONITOR WHAT THEY'RE KIDS ARE DOING ON THE INTERNET.

STOP RAISING IPAD KIDS YOU LAZY F-CKS AND STOP BLAMING THE INTERNET FOR YOU NOT INVOLVING YOURSELF WITH WHAT YOUR KIDS DO ONLINE.

IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB, IT'S YOURS.

YOUR AS BAD AS PARENTS THAT BLAME THE TEACHER FOR THEIR KID NOT BEING ABLE TO TIE THEIR SHOES.

YOU SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT THEM.

[Perma Banned ထ🔨 @GiveMeBanHammer]

This is my last post on the matter:

Vtubers, artists - if by chance you see this...DO NOT post much/at all on BS 🦋, ESPECIALLY if the reason you are doing it is over X/Twitter's Ai TOS changes.

I have talked about it on my yesterday stream but I will post about it for posterity.

I am noticing an number of Vtubers and artists who are announcing that they are "migrating" to BS 🦋, and the reason most of you cited is over the Ai policy announced.

It is a fair concern, no doubt about it. BUT if THIS is the reason you are moving to BS 🦋...I will be blunt with you.

You are shooting yourself on the foot, multiple times.

It is at least MANY TIMES easier for your posts and art to be taken by Ai when you post on BS 🦋 and I will tell you exactly why.

There are Ai ranging from Meta's, Nvidia's Apple's and countless other less known Corporations...

As you are posting and arguing online right now, or writing a reply to me saying I'm wrong - they are scouring the internet...whether it be Danbooru, Pixiv, Deviantart, etc - grabbing any art and any post they can find to train.

So long as you post there, you are helping their Ai's whether you like it or not. BUT, there's a limitation.

Firstly I want to shoutout @TheLegalMindset for succinctly and clearly making an important point. These Ai primarily only have access to content that is PUBLICLY viewable.

Which means the working way right now to slow down or prevent your content from being scraped...is to wall it. Whether it be Patreon paywalls, Misskey complexity-walling, or in X/Twitter's way...sign-up walling.

You go to a completely new browser and enter X, and there's a big screen stopping you from seeing ANY post. You have to create an account, sign in - and then you have your content. As it stands right now, there is no known conceivable way for external Ai to bypass that restriction to scrape data.

But in contrast you go to BS 🦋- the very moment you type in the address or click the link. ALL the content is available to you for viewing...no holds barred, no restrictions.

Which means all that content is available for countless numbers of Ai's from countless numbers of Corporations to scrape from. Vtubers and Artists gleefully keep posting on BS 🦋give it to them on a silver platter without knowing any better.

A Data-scraping buffet.

Also, one more thing I would like to tell you all - a little inconvenient fact. Say what you want about Elon or this site - at least X TOLD you to your face that this is what it is doing. It actually had the baseline standard to seek your consent.

Meta Ai by contrast, whistleblowers, media and even government had to FORCE Zucc to tell everyone what they were doing. Otherwise, you would ALL still be in the dark, even me.

And remember also, because X/Twitter is a LOCKED Social media until you sign up - for now only GROK conceivably is able to use your data, no other Ai can touch the site just yet.

So what is it do you want Vtubers, artists? The harsh ugly truth, or a beautiful lie?

If the main reason you are migrating to BS 🦋 is due to this Ai issue. I will be honest - you are ignorantly self-sabotaging yourself.

You willingly, with a smile on your face, left the sauna to enter an oven. You have ensured that even MORE Ai can take your content, and you think you are doing such a great service to yourself.

Well, either you are really being naive, or you are clout-chasing. Which is it?

I know for a fact my take on this matter is far from the most popular or engagement-bait one, but UNLESS I am provided evidence in the contrary - this is the facts and the truth the way I see it.

Lets not all also forget that every Anti who sends threats and harassment to Artists and Vtubers who were chased of X/Twitter, mostly moved to BS 🦋.

You haven't met the antis yet, but you will. Growing number of JP artists are getting banned on that site already and have returned to this site to complain about it in fact.

Ok...my point is.

This is not a dig on any of you Artists/Vtubers - this is my warning to you about bandwagoning, for something like BS 🦋. I cannot stop any of you from choosing not to take what I say seriously, and to continue using that site.

But remember, what happens to you - whether the next generative Ai has sampled your artstyle, or a large crowd of Antis drive you off the internet without anyone supporting you.

Its on you.
