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

Chants of “aye aye… AI” resound

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.

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.

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

Even better generate one. it helps speed up AI decay

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!

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.

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

When you go deep enough

hehehe

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

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

surely nothing could go wrong with this

Wanker loicense

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.

Don’t worry the gooners know all about that

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

What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

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

Maybe for their teeth. And for Commonwealth.

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

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.

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.

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.
