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

    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.

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

      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.

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

      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.

      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.

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