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.

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

        (no judgement)

            Can confirm. There are things you can’t unsee.

            You’ve been warned.

        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

      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?

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.
