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

    They’ll probably VPN to mainland Europe to sign up for their account.

    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 😡

        No, but with a screenshot without the Watermark at the bottom, there are also apps to delete Watermarks (always have to explain everything to today’s kids 🙄)

            Are you with a mobile? Well, than upload the image to Minipaint (works also fine in mobile) and crop there la image. It’s a very complete and powerfull image editor, online (also downloadable) and FOSS.

    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.

      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

            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.

        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.

        (no judgement)

          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.

            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

        Pretty sure that not all NSFW subreddits are focused on images and/or videos,in which case this suggestion does not seem to work.

    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.
