@psychonic Yes it isn't forced for community servers you are correct. The bigger issue I think would be Valve's servers now default these settings and those servers have the majority of players. I expect many people will be effect and head over to Reddit so keep a eye there to see if it's as wide spread as I think it is. I just ran a quick test with someone who was effect on a Casual Valve server and that person was still effected there, and also another player on the server who I asked to talk also seemed effected.
