It's for everyone who wants to access adult content or get messages from people they might not know, according to their release.
Which includes many of the wargaming, traditional art, and queer Discord servers my partner and I use. Never assume that when a bad actor says “adult content” they mean hardcore porn and snuff, they mean everything that doesn’t conform to their ideal christofascist ethnostate purity. And now they have a list of all the “dangerous” nonconformists while blocking everyone else from being exposed to “dangerous” ideas. This should chill people to the bone. Nobody should be okay with this anywhere, in any capacity, in any quantity, whatsoever.
Isn't it only servers/channels marked as NSFW? If you don't mark it as NSFW then it shouldn't make any different to how it is now.
Also it just detects things it can read. Stick it in a file format discord doesn't understand, or link to an external site.
