They do it if they think you're underage and it's optional. If you don't do it, you can't see nsfw. That's pretty much it. They also switched away from the sketchy id checker. I'm not saying it's good, but you can avoid it.

    It took me a long time before I signed up. I think I lucked for at least a year. I didn't want to join an instance and then regret it. And all instances have their own small novel of rules, that I need to read through to know if I agree with. And even if you do, you have to send an application and get approved as well.

    It almost scared me away - I'd imagine the same goes for a lot of people.
