A lot of servers have the equivalent of a #nsfw channel where you post dank stuff. I don't agree with the age verification approach, but I see why it concerns people. Discord naturally attracts a very diverse crowd, of which many are quite young. Walking into a random channel in your random all-ages jrpg server and finding horse porn might concern a parent. (This is a concrete example that I have experienced, not a theoretical one.)


The random porn in a JRPG chat is concerning but how does age verification prevent that?

Channels have to opt in and participants have to follow the rules, right?

Isn’t the real issue that you don’t know and trust all the participants personally?


And almost all of those servers have those channels marked as such. But when I set it as an NSFW channel, I didn't agree to demand my users' privacy be invaded. Now, I just remove the NSFW flag from those channels. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Yeah. I did the same.
