It looks like X (formerly Twitter) is getting spicier. Well, at least its Communities feature is. Admins will soon be able to label their subreddit-style groups as “adult content,” a move that follows rumors swirling around X's potential adoption of NSFW material.<\/p>\n
The news was announced, almost by chance, by X engineer Dong Wook Chung. in a recent article<\/a>. Chung hinted that “soon” your X feed could be much more filtered, with NSFW content automatically hidden in communities. The trap ? Administrators can decide whether or not their community gets the \u201cMature\u201d label.<\/p>\n Some might think this deserves a shrug, but many saw it coming. Bloomberg reported<\/a> that researchers had already discovered hints some time ago that X would enable \u201cadult-sensitive\u201d content settings. Remember, X has always allowed a little riskier content than other social media apps. But profile photos and community banners… that's where the limit is.<\/p>\n X \u201cCommunities\u201d themselves aren\u2019t even a Musk invention. Twitter began toying with the concept in 2021, promising a whole new level of friendly conversation. What Twitter never promised was whether this comfort would be, well, adult-themed. And like Engadget highlights this<\/a>, let's not forget that for a hot minute in 2022, the company reportedly flirted with the idea of \u200b\u200blaunching an OnlyFans rival. Talk about a change of direction! These plans were reportedly abandoned due to the imminent risk that it would make X's existing problems with illegal child exploitation material infinitely worse.<\/p>\n![\"X](\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/X-confirms-NSFW-Communities-are-on-the-way.jpg\")
