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.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

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)

[-] VibeCoder@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago

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

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 6 months ago

Don't have to go particularly deep if you search "furry porn", life hack

[-] Cricket@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 months ago

When you go deep enough

hehehe

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

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.

Wanker loicense

[-] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 6 months ago

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?

[-] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 months ago

The wank auditor will see you now.

What prevents you from uploading a picture of someone else?

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 6 months ago

Greedy little pigboy.

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.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

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

Kids everywhere making deepfakes.

Well, that law aged like milk.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] bl4kers@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago

This is still the case

[-] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

Come to the fediverse we have porn?

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago

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

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 months ago

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.

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.

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

[-] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

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

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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.

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

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 😡

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago

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.

[-] gueybana@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

Question for a nuclear armed friend:

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

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

The lead belt and a comically large toy company.

[-] Ilandar@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

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