      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.

        Are Furrys considered hard-core? I always thought it a little bit more silly than anything.

          Furry by itself is largely no longer considered shocking and may even be getting close to mundane, but the thing to remember is that furry pornography can be and often is also in another kinky category at the same time. I think people who are into furry stuff (which includes myself, I’m not being judgemental either) may be more likely to be sexually “adventurous” in other ways as well.

            Look, I consider myself pretty sexually adventurous. There are very few things I haven’t tried. So I’m definitely not here to kinkshame anyone. I’m into my own stuff.

            It’s just that, this one particular kink, for me, makes me laugh. I think it’s literally silly and goofy, and I can’t be sexually aroused when I’m too busy giggling.

            I don’t say this to mock anyone, and again, no judgments. It’s just not for me.

        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)

    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.

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

    Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver’s license.

        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.

      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.

            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.

      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.
