Summarizing:

• it will now be impossible to unblur graphic imagery or adjust the content filter settings for your account until age verification is complete
• Age-restricted channels and servers will be inaccessible
• DMs from unknown users will be rerouted to a separate inbox
• No speaking on server stages

Which, all sounds fine. However, who defines all of these things? Who defines graphic imagery? Is it straight up porn? Is it a meme that has a naughty word in it? Is it anime? We have no idea.

Also as a server owner (who has moved everyone to Matrix now), I pretty much had to set my private server to age restricted, otherwise the server gets penalized if one of my users uploads something that is "graphic imagery" which again, is defined by them. The only safe way previously ways to say "Hey, you should be over 18 to join this" and then I'm not liable. I worry about a lot of servers taking the easy way and saying the same.
