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

      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.

        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)

          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.

        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.

    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.

          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 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.

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

      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.

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

    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 😡

    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.
