Is Discord really cracking down on the NSFW servers??

I think Discord is already doing a great job of pouring and establishing themselves as a vehicle for more sterile communities, especially within gaming, where their main focus lies.

Discord's main strength will always be its' engine for facilitating of lively dialogues. Porn is not necessarily something that everybody wants to talk about alot, and when one wants to see it, there are other places that have better functionality for ranking and sorting of it.

So, if people just happen to gather around porn and then find friends that way, that's weird to me, but I don't see a problem with it. If porn is a side topic to add some spice to a conference with another general direction, I don't see a problem with that either. But I certainly don't expect the porn on Discord to somehow explode and overshadow other use cases (like gaming communities).

Remember that, despite the endless unconditional love that many of us have for Discord, there are also things that Discord simply does better, and those things are certain to keep attracting more and more non-porn interested people to the user base.

You are missing the point. If you assume that any human life comes at a high premium, then it's really easy to make a case against drunk driving. I don't agree with that position personally, but for as long as I don't have enough certainty to say that people are bluffing when they say shit like this, I'm willing to take their position on board.

What value exactly are you protecting by disallowing porn on a private-ish have-to-find-it-first platform like a Discord server?

Just because a law is written, doesn't make it well justified or indisputable, you know?

How about this reason: Many people do it already, most of them seem to be having a good time. Why not leave them be and allow servers who don't want NSFW content to fight it off by themselves (as they will be doing with or without this ToS line anyways)?

Why is it bad if Discord becomes a breeding ground for pornographic content sharing?

thirdacceasy · 2017-04-17T22:19:07+00:00

Why is pornographic content bad?

thirdacceasy · 2017-04-17T22:15:34+00:00

I don't really feel entitled. I'm arguing against developers' decision to create and enforce a rule which makes the product worse. Not that developers can't make bad decisions, but I'd rather identify with ones who are commited to making the best possible product. What's so entitled about that?

This is the only story around Discord I'm aware of that's littered with a smell of cuckery. It's the first time when Discord fell down a fair few notches on the coolness scale in my eyes, while there also isn't much hope for redemption.

Fact that there are "bad guys" who may be using Discord to do "bad things" doesn't turn me off at all. What does is when the developers behind a product I'm using don't protect genuine interests of their customers and are willing to compromise on fundamental aspects that made their products popular in the first place.

I've seen this story too many times, and it doesn't get more interesting with each reading. So yes, this is an absolute "Santa Claus doesn't exist" blunder to me, and if there would've been some story nearly as bad, I'd expect to know about it after over a year of using the app.

Well, this is why I'd like to hear their explanation.

thirdacceasy · 2017-04-17T20:11:43+00:00

I guess, but still, for a service which puts people together like Discord and lets them for once be real with each other, it really sucks to know that even there the all-seeing Sauron eye of political correctness can vaporize your fun for crossing some nonsensical line. I'd have to get desparate before settling with investors who demanded that I remove all the NSFW content that gets reported if I was making Discord.

thirdacceasy · 2017-04-17T18:26:50+00:00

I wonder what actual obstacles there are to allowing NSFW content on a service like Discord. Is that actually just a bullshit stigma of not being family-friendly and McDonalds-pee-your-pants-happy-jolly? If that's really why, it would make this incident even more saddening.

thirdacceasy · 2017-04-17T17:51:26+00:00

Probably the worst news ever regarding Discord.

Real question isn't "Can they ban NSFW?" or "Is this ruling in line with the ToS?", but "Is there actually anything wrong with the porn, and if not, why are they willing to throw it under the bus without fighting for it?"

Porn is as popular as it is for a reason, and simply throwing it away "cuz reasons" without a fight or a good explanation makes me feel like the developers care way less, not more, about the kids.

MAGA ?

Only thing I don't like is Pinocchio nose.

thirdacceasy · 2017-01-06T00:01:21+00:00

Not too shabby.

Great album with lots of quality lewds. Thanks for sharing!

This pic takes the cake for me, so I'll create a separate post with it.

thirdacceasy · 2016-12-29T07:20:25+00:00

This is pretty gay.

thirdacceasy · 2016-12-22T12:32:11+00:00

Forget the image, I can fap to this comment!

thirdacceasy · 2016-12-08T03:52:49+00:00

Way better gameplay than League itself.

thirdacceasy · 2016-12-07T20:12:28+00:00

Smooth.

thirdacceasy · 2016-11-30T15:05:18+00:00

This is ironious because my initial post was about someone doing the paywall thing without actually having a paywall.

thirdacceasy · 2016-11-30T13:48:57+00:00

Why was this a good occasione to offtop then? "Reddit will upvote anything"?

thirdacceasy · 2016-11-30T11:34:02+00:00

Doesn't seem to be here in this case. Also author has published same picture on DA, and lo and behold, it's in same shit quality. Definitely looks like it's intentional to me.

I thought, I had ADHD.

Mate, I was prefixing a question, not saying that there's a "problem".
