Good, maybe the masses will finally abandon that garbage.
I’m so sick of being directed to a fucking Discord server when I’m looking for a projects forums, especially when researching a specific problem.
Add on their forced arbitration terms and I’d rather abandon projects/creators that use discord vs support them. I’m not giving up my legal rights just to ask a common question that I should be able to find with a google search. (but can’t because all the answers are on discord instead of a public forum)

Same, but I’m not sure what Discord is doing will help much, because it only affects server that are classified as “age restricted” (mature content), if they’re not, no verification will be required, for now at least.

Is that known already? Which servers are deemed appropriate?

It is known since this age verification has existed for a while now in some regions, it’s only now rolling out globally.
The server owner is the one that marks a server or specific channels as NSFW.
Now, you might say “oh ok then just don’t mark it NSFW” but Discord does have AI detection that flags NSFW images/videos/links if you post them outside of NSFW channels.
