The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

They’ll probably VPN to mainland Europe to sign up for their account.

With 72 years it is insulting for me to have to prove my age and the only thing they will prove will be my middle finger 😡

Meh, just upload a dick pic.

Greedy little pigboy.

Can you use it with that watermark on it? I’d be surprised.

No, but with a screenshot without the Watermark at the bottom, there are also apps to delete Watermarks (always have to explain everything to today’s kids 🙄)

Im only capable of copy-paste, sorry.

Download f-droid

Are you with a mobile? Well, than upload the image to Minipaint (works also fine in mobile) and crop there la image. It’s a very complete and powerfull image editor, online (also downloadable) and FOSS.

You must show your id to access NSFW subreddits!

“oh no!”

changes www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com on the adress bar

“anyways”

Tho i remember when they removed compact reddit. But i think if they remove old.reddit.com, people will really start to leave, so they’ll try to get rid of it quietly.

I do wonder how long they’ll let old.reddit.com stay. I assume they don’t want it but are worried about the backlash

Maybe. They could just let it rot. Let it break over time. Thus pushing people onto the new site.

This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.

Question for a nuclear armed friend:

Besides football and good panAsian food, what exactly are we keeping terf island around for?

Maybe for their teeth. And for Commonwealth.

I’m sorry but I can’t live in a world without derivative British TV documentaries.

I will straight up never give any social media site a real email address let alone a photo of myself.

surely nothing could go wrong with this

What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

It gets you to turn your head. It’s not just a selfi.

Wanker loicense

Oh god I’m so nervous for my wanking practical test. I only just passed the wanking theory!

Don’t worry the gooners know all about that

When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.

Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?

The wank auditor will see you now.

Kids everywhere making deepfakes.

Well, that law aged like milk.

Come to the fediverse we have porn?

Yup, we have.

If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.

Is that so? Why would anyone with an instance from another country give a shit about UK law? Honest question, I have no clue about these kind of laws.

They’ll get blocked in the UK. Which, to be honest for a non profit fediverse instance isn’t going to be a bad thing as they’ll loose traffic alongside any donations. Expect UK based instances to start doing something for their users. But there’s lots of other verification options they could use.

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/protecting-children/age-checks-for-online-safety--what-you-need-to-know-as-a-user

But then UK instances won’t be able to federate with non-UK instances, right? Can this even be enforced?

I can’t see why that would be the case. The UK users using the UK instance would still have had their ages checked. As far as I understand it doesn’t matter where the adult material on the site has come from. It’s not a law to try to protect against the creation of material by people who aren’t verified, but rather try to reduce the amount of under 18s accessing material.

Ah, of course! Classic brain fart.

The law is, yes. Your thought just bit misguided.

The answer is if they don’t theyre supposed to be blocked in the UK. Which… Who cares. Everyone on here can use a vpn

I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don’t remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com

TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.

Yeh, but it’s available through your instance even though it’s hosted there…

Unsure how that is meant to work legally.

Such NSFW images and videos aren’t hosted on other instances. Not mine, and not yours, sadly.

heh, come

Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁

John Perry Barlow was right: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence

balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

Yes…we should balkanize the UK and US.

Search for adult selfie, submit found photo for age verification. Done.

LPT: Turn safe search off, and you don’t even need the NSFW subreddits. You can search for adult anything and those results are guaranteed to contain porn. Usually, the more you scroll, more hard core it gets. When you go deep enough, you’ll eventually start finding furries too.

Less for crap sites, like Reddit or porn, which at my age in any case don’t cause much interests, but the age prove also appears in movie streams classified as +18 and even +16, even in YouTube and not only in movies, also in some Music, like eg. Harakiri for the Sky - Funeral Dreams, because harsh content and others, blocked by the US Flanders moral.

Don’t have to go particularly deep if you search “furry porn”, life hack

When you go deep enough

hehehe

Pretty sure that not all NSFW subreddits are focused on images and/or videos,in which case this suggestion does not seem to work.

Sounds like a bad way to do things. Won’t you end up with gore on your feed? Not to mention it would be hard to filter out really dehumanizing, gross porn (which is frankly a description that fits most of it anyway)

That’s why I like old school image boards with filtering. Some places have such specific tags to exclude or include and it’s nice

Even better generate one. it helps speed up AI decay

Thank you so much for this!

Definitely, if the verification requires more than just a photo, something like this is the optimal solution. Flood the Persona AI with false data

That’s wild!
