hi, i’m your local laid off discord employee, here to talk about exactly how safe it may or may not be to talk about Political Activism on discord. my credentials here are that i was a senior member of discord’s trust & safety team, which is the team that handles bans, legal investigations, and legal compliance. (my speciality was in child safety, anti-grooming, and taking down CSAM, but i also worked occasionally in low level terrorism issues and assisted that team in investigations.) i also know most of the people still working there in these capacities.

the tldr and most important thing to know is: i do not recommend you plan, discuss plans, or use any kind of hyperbolic (or not) language about violence to government officials or anyone in that vicinity on discord. please use signal instead.

a discord trust & safety employee is technically able to see any message you’ve sent under your account, going all the way back to the beginning of your account. unless you have manually deleted a message, it is viewable to a tns employee. now: it is a tremendous part of being on a tns team that we did NOT invade user privacy without cause. cause was usually: another user reported something you said, and we thought the reported message indicated you might be doing something elsewhere that was illegal (for example: a user says “i’m talking to this girl but she’s in high school lol.” i would then try to find evidence as to whether or not there was a child safety issue there. in this example, we’d require clear admission of age from both the user and the alleged high school girl, and then clear evidence of sexual talk between them, and go from there.) finding evidence required looking though all of that user’s messages.

most of the tns team, as i know them, are pretty resolute about not going further in looking than would be needed for action. most of the tns team that i still speak to is very much on the side of blue. your general conversations are probably perfectly safe, and we were very good at figuring out quickly if someone has reported you maliciously. i don’t believe you need to worry too much about your porn and fanfic and all that.

HOWEVER: reported content must be investigated, and discord can, and has been, legally subpoenaed to turn over user information. again, this has nominally been in Very Evil cases (CSAM and grooming, school shooting threats, murder admissions, etc.) but that could change, either at the federal level, or at the discord policy level. discord, like any social media company, could easily be pressured or forced into taking on different internal policies that could get you in serious trouble if you are organizing violent or “illegal” resistance. if that happens, there is a scenario where this incoming administration is given access to your messages.

again: please do not organize your political or social resistance on discord from now on. please use signal to ensure your maximum safety. do not panic if you have already talks about things on discord: you can easily delete your messages, and that WILL remove from an employee’s view. do that and use signal from now on.

stay safe. i love you. 💕

and please feel free to tell me why in the replies/tags !!!!

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

[gudaworks]

They have gotten so far and are nearing their goal. Please help them to reach the finish line!!! Remember that these funds are necessary for daily living as the family awaits evacuation.

🕊 Currently at €64,657 / €100,000 - a donation can also get you entered into a raffle for a free commission from me! More info here !

🎨 Art NOT by me - all art credit goes to an artist (who wanted to remain anonymous for now) who gave Ahmed permission to post, and then Ahmed gave me permission to post on his behalf.

🌟 This campaign has been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi - #264 on the vetted Gaza fundraiser list. Also verified by @/butterflyeffect.project (line 741)

EDIT: final goal has been changed due to Ahmed needing to raise the goal to ensure he receives the necessary funds after gfm fees and bank taxes have been taken out! truly despicable that these financial hurdles exist given the circumstances :((

tags - please share if you can!

A Father’s Cry for Help: Save My Daughter’s Future

My name is Ahmed, a teacher from Gaza. I lost my son, Tamim

And now my daughter Najah, just one year and three months old, is trapped with her mother in northern Gaza, suffering from hunger, fear, and homelessness😭 We are separated by war, and I haven’t seen her take her first steps or hear her laugh. Every day without her breaks my heart 💔

Tamim above and Najah below 👇🏻

I’m in southern Gaza, caring for my sick father, my injured brother, and my younger siblings.

I need help to send my daughter food, diapers, and basic necessities—but most of all, I need to get her out of Gaza. I dream of giving her a life free from war, where she can grow up in peace and safety.🙏

Please help me give my daughter the future every child deserves. Every moment counts.

🔴 This is the brother I told you about in my story.

On the morning of October 13th, we woke up to a devastating explosion that shook our neighborhood. As we searched through the rubble for survivors, we heard the faint voice of my younger brother calling from beneath the debris of a nearby house. He was pulled out with partial memory loss and a skull fracture, and every day since, he has endured his pain in silence. The doctors have stressed the urgent need for surgery to remove the shrapnel lodged in his head, but this operation can only be performed abroad.

We humbly ask for your donations to help save my brother’s life and give him the chance to heal. Your generosity can make all the difference.🙏🇵🇸🍉

This is my life before and after war 💔👇🏻

This is a photo of my house in northern Gaza—it’s no longer mine.👇🏻

I have always waited for you so much, my little one, and when you were born, I have not found you since then. Sorry, my little one 😥😥❤️‍🩹

A very short story, my dear friends

A child like any other child, was playing and having fun in the alleys of the refuge camp that we he was displaced to 😊

But unfortunately, a missile fell near him 🚀 He lost his life and his soul ascended to the sky 🤲🧚, leaving behind great pain for everyone around him, leaving the ball ⚽️ soaked in blood The story is over...

Is this really what is happening to us!? Maybe it is a dream, but it has happened already in Gaza, my Lord 😥

Save my family, maybe I, my daughter, or one of my family members will be next, I forgive you all, my friends

The moment American planes dropped aid parachutes on the Khan Yunis area near my residential place 🇵🇸🇺🇸

That was painful ⁉️ 🥺🥺

We do not want air or ground aid, we only want to stop the war.. 😞

This is what happened to me while I was going to get some food from air aid, where there was extreme noise and crowding and shooting by monopolists and exploiters 😭

You must find optimal ways to deliver aid to us..

#Stop_the_war

We are being exterminated, O free people, help us, a living dipped in blood 🩸🩸

Here is Gaza, where there is humiliation and humiliation

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

yo hey US people who sent in absentee ballots, they are tossing mail-in ballots for no reason. i just had to call my county board of elections and demand a cure for my ballot because north carolina didn't send out any notices of issues with ballots, and the issues are fake. if you voted by mail-in make sure your ballot was actually counted

[gudaworks]

i mean i do wonder what it would be like to live somewhere where there were actually consequences for people doing things like, idk, attempting coups. "cannot run for the office they tried to steal" seems like a pretty low bar for consequences for me but what do i know, i just live here

[gudaworks]

This too shall pass but like holy fuck

message to all bitches

please survive
