So, Discord has added a feature that lets other people "enhance" or "edit" your images with different AI apps. It looks like this:

Currently, you can't opt out from this at all. But here's few things you can do as a protest.

FOR SERVERS YOU ARE AN ADMIN IN

Go to Roles -> @/everyone roles -> Scroll all the way down to External Apps, and disable it. This won't delete the option, but it will make people receive a private message instead when they use it, protecting your users:

You should also make it a bannable offense to edit other user's images with AI. Here's how I worded it in my server, feel free to copypaste:

Do not modify other people's images with AI under ANY circumstances, such as with the Discord "enhancement" features, amidst others. This is a bannable offense.

COMPLAIN TO DISCORD

There's few ways to go around this. First, you can go to https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new , select Help and Support -> Feedback/New Feature Request, and write your message, as seen in the screenshot below.

For the message, here's some points you can bring up:

Concerns about harassment (such as people using this feature to bully others)

Concerns about privacy (concerns on how External Apps may break privacy or handle the data in the images, and how it may break some legislations, such as GDPR)

Concerns about how this may impact minors (these features could be used with pictures of irl minors shared in servers, for deeply nefarious purposes)

BE VERY CLEAR about "I will refuse to buy Nitro and will cancel my subscription if this feature remains as it is", since they only care about fucking money

Word them as you'd like, add onto them as you need. They sometimes filter messages that are copypasted templates, so finding ways to word them on your own is helpful.

ADDING: You WILL NEED to reply to the mail you receive afterwards for the message to get sent to an actual human! Otherwise it won't reach anyone

UNSUSCRIBE FROM NITRO

This is what they care about the most. Unsuscribe from Nitro. Tell them why you unsuscribed on the way out. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. They're a company. They take actions for profit. If these actions do not get them profit, they will need to backtrack. Mass-unsuscribing from WOTC's DnD beyond forced them to back down with the OGL, this works.

LEAVE A ONE-STAR REVIEW ON THE APP

This impacts their visibility on the App store. Write why are you leaving the one-star review too.

_

Regardless of your stance on AI, I think we can agree that having no way for users to opt out of these pictures is deeply concerning, specially when Discord is often used to share selfies. It's also a good time to remember internet privacy and safety- Maybe don't post your photos in big open public servers, if you don't want to risk people doing edits or modifications of them with AI (or any other way). Once it's posted, it's out of your control.

Anyways, please reblog for visibility- This is a deeply concerning topic!

*Thinking about the Tokyolk incident*

Do you think he has a body count?

[ducktales-four-years]

Whenever a screenshot of Doofus pops in my timeline i get jumpscared bc i legit forget that my version is not canon

[ducktales-four-years]

this is so I can figure out the order of episodes

the episode title beware the Heir of Dismal Downs is inspired by the name of a fic written by @godfrey-the-chaos-duck their fic titles alone are genuine art

Boyd's stomach works like a furnace, burning solid food to produce energy after separating all the liquids, he can eat coal and it's one of his favorite things to eat! But if he eats too many he gets a tummy ache :(

[ducktales-four-years]

Aw man sideblogs can't join communities? that's bs

[ducktales-four-years]

You guys don't understand the chaothic, destructive potential Louie and Doofus would have working together

[ducktales-four-years]

Ever look at a character and “man, I wish the writers didn’t hate you”

[ducktales-four-years]

I am once again thinking about how we got robbed off a Doofus redemption arc

[ducktales-four-years]

I think I’ve said this before but I am a Doofus Drake fan mostly because of the comedic potential of his redemption arc. He’s equally as strange and off-putting as he was when he was evil. He grows up and abandons his wealth to live in the wilderness where he meditates 23 hours a day in a cave behind a waterfall

“Guys I know he’s pretty weird but he’s my brother and I swear he’s chill now” - Boyd Gearloose before every group hangout

[ducktales-four-years]

Y'know what, if some rich fuck tried to pull this shit i'd have eternal beef with them and turn into a villain too

[ducktales-four-years]

Hey tester! If you’re still taking requests can you draw the kids having a slumber party? (Nightmare On Killmotor Hill is on the brain again lol)

Your ask is my command...

Thanks for the ask @queer-in-a-cornfield!

[ducktales-four-years]

big boy 🥺

Ducktales writing team: "we changed these characters because the originals were fatphobic caricatures"

Me: "So you made them better, right?"

Ducktales writing team: *makes one of them skinny*

Me: "So you made them better... right?"

Ducktales writing team: *twists the other one into an even worse stereotype*

[ducktales-four-years]

Boyd and Lil'Bulb body swap episode

More Gosalyn interactions with the kids in general

Doofus redemption arc PLEASE they just threw the seeds for it on a barren soil and LEFT 😭

Della and Gyro being frienemies!

Fellow lovers of ducktales for umm research purposes(tootally not a secret project) if the reboot had a season four what kind of things would you like to see from episodes,to character interaction and cameos

[ducktales-four-years]

Imagine Boyd rescuing every stray animal he sees, he just picks them up like "nope, you're coming with me", and one day Gyro wakes up with his lab being an absolute MESS. Animals, food, and toys everywhere while Boyd is like this

Beloved Daughter...

Beloved Memories...

Gyro gazed in horror at the mangled robot before him, the thing so perfectly still, only the slightest flicker of its eye showed that it was active, studying him. It was only after a flash of thunder illuminated its form that he recognized who it was.

It was his daughter, Robotica, whom he built with his own hands, who should have been deactivated long ago. Had she come back to haunt him?
