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.

Even if it is hardcore porn, that still doesn't mean I'm going to give them an ID/pictures to verify who I am just so I can see the art people draw of ███████████████.

Whenever I read this idiom, I am reminded how many folks do not advance their psychology & neurological studies. A realistic idiom that is very true:

you can lead a horse to water, but

Healthcare workers were prioritized for vaccination, locking them into the narrative early. Once you’ve taken the shot and pushed it on patients, your identity – professional judgment, ethics, self-image as a healer – hinges on its safety. The cost of admitting error becomes psychologically prohibitive.

What the fuck did you link.

[edit] So, if you follow links to Joshua Stylman's substack, you can find this:

Maybe it's my algorithm, but the content was flooded with an unusual amount of vitriol directed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as HHS Secretary. [...] talking heads across networks uniformly labeling him a "conspiracy theorist" and "danger to public health," never once addressing his actual positions.

Honestly, I don't even know why I'm wasting my time on this. It's just funny, I guess.
