Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

only changes for the unverified: * Channels, servers, and commands set to age-restricted will be inaccessible * DM requests deemed “sensitive” will be inaccessible * “Sensitive content” will be blurred * Won’t be able to become a speaker in “stage” channels, a special type where a few videoconferencers have a meeting where anyone else can watch and type but not videoconference; verified watchers can be invited to speak * DMs from unfamiliar users will be routed to a separate “warning” inbox

I think this is business as usual…

Youtube age restricts pro-Palestine stuff and the government age restricts the Epstein files, so I can imagine this could target political or LGBTQ spaces

  I’m strongly urging to migrate to Matrix with Discord bridges, and am offering to help with.
  
  Bravo. I know Matrix isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ve been using it for a few years now and would like to see it gain some traction.
  
  I absolutely refuse to put the Discord app on my phone and using Matrix bridging for Discord messaging (only works with messages, not voice/video).

  Server owners must apply an age-restricted label to any channels that contain sexually explicit content involving adults or content involving adults that is shared solely for the purposes of sexual gratification.
  
  nothing else needs to be age-restricted, and age restriction of topics you mentioned would be big news for discord. pluralkit’s home is discord and has great influence there, and the lgbtq+ community definitely has a larger presence than the plural community

    This here says that Discord can automatically age-restrict channels and specifically mentions channels focused on sexual content in a different section, implying that this is not the only “mature” topic they will age restrict.

    https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005292701-How-to-Access-an-Age-Restricted-Server-FAQ clarifies that Discord would only do that for servers that otherwise violate the Community Guidelines’s provisions on adult content, whose only mention of which I quoted above.
