Conflict is amping up its limitations on adult content, with new age gates on NSFW servers and a prohibition on accessing these servers from iOS devices.
Whole workers would now be marked as NSFW if their community “is organized around NSFW themes or if the majority of the server’s content is 18+.” This name will be a requirement going forward, and Discord will proactively mark servers as NSFW on the off chance that they neglect to self-identify. Discord recently allowed individual channels to be marked as NSFW and age-gated.
The NSFW marker completes two things. In the first place, it prevents anybody younger than 18 from joining. In any case, the bigger limitation is that it prevents NSFW servers from being gotten to on iOS devices — a significant restriction that is more likely than not intended to oblige Apple’s strict and often prudish rules around nudity in services distributed through the App Store. Tumblr infamously wiped porn from its whole platform to come into consistence with Apple’s rules.
Probably some Discord clients appear to be frustrated by the changes, in light of the response on Twitter. A few group tweeted that this could do them switch to Android. One said the restriction posed a problem for them since they should have been ready to screen their worker while portable. The ban seems to be particularly concerning to art communities that incorporate sexual illustrations.
