===Server listings for CSAM servers (''2021—2023'')===

From 2021 to 2023 Disboard had a platform-wide moderation problem related to listings for servers advertising or containing CSAM content. During this time period, search queries related to either adult material or to CSAM slang would return pages upon pages of servers all with the same names and server icons that all contained CSAM.

From 2021 to 2023 Disboard had a platform-wide moderation problem related to listings for servers advertising or containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) content. During this time period, search queries related to either adult material or to CSAM slang would return pages upon pages of servers all with the same names and server icons that all contained CSAM.

On ~~the 14th of~~ January, 2023, the YouTuber known as iamLucid made a video covering the CSAM listings, using info from a documented handed to him by an anonymous fan.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ANZU4liRQU ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=8ANZU4liRQU ~~Archived])~~</ref> A couple of weeks after his video went live his video had gained over a million views, but more importantly, the server listings users had been complaining to Disboard about for years were quickly all removed and blocked. With no servers like them popping up after iamLucid's video, though other types of child abuse servers kept existing on the platform and as of May 2026 still do.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QacpIq4lWzc ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=QacpIq4lWzc archive])</ref>
