and fuck the UK goverment
just use one of the libreddits like safereddit.com or something, never go to actual reddit.
Rdx is my jam
“Estimate age from selfie”
fake beard sales dramatically increase
Works in real life too. Grew a beard when i was 17, and never got carded for booze again after that.
Are there any women here today?
Don’t be sexist. Gray is gray.
It was a Life of Brian reference.

My deepest apologies sire, I know I lack familiarity with the greatest comedies. I know it is my duty to know them, especially when I listen to them out of my mind on laughing gas.
The world and the internet are so low on trust, I kind of wish there was some entity we trusted.
Some website where you could upload a photo, and people would actually know for sure that all the site is going to do is compare the photo to an ID, verify you’re over a certain age, and send a simple boolean “Yes” to the website that wanted to know if you were over-age. Or, to somehow know that your account is human and not a duplicate.
We could do a lot with that, but as it stands, no person or entity can ever really be trusted with that kind of data; I think most wouldn’t even trust the same governments that issue those IDs.
It’s simple, librarians or even gas station clerks look at your license and they give you a code that you can use idk 10 times for account signups.
No scanning or tracking of who is requesting. Just make it an ID check like buying cigarettes
I’d leave codes all around the city as a middle finger to that stupid system.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
some entity we trusted.
We can trust each other, just takes a little chemical and/or psychological manipulation.
It’d still be a joke to fool anyways
That’s an odd way of spelling incest. /s
How old is your account? I wonder if this happens for 10+ years redditors too
So I don’t have a horse in the race, but I am curious if you follow the link to estimate age from selfie, and claimed some random picture of a politician is your selfie, would that work?
From what I have heard it’s absolute bare minimum level of checks so it will probably work
Does old.reddit.com still work? It used to not even require a login for NSFW.
I don’t know about local requirements in the UK but testing now in the US, yes old.reddit.com allows access to NSFW subs without a login
The UK recently passed a law requiring submitting a photo ID to access adult content. It’s also super unclear on very important specifics
I’m scared
Works for all subreddit with pics, I use it to watch whatcouldgowrong, instant_regret, etc. boobies.
I’m sure there are a dozen others also.
Or use old.reddit.com and the redirect plugin for Firefox.
I’m sorry to say, but as stupid as it is, just blinking and moving away is not gonna stop the proliferation of this everywhere, lemmy included.
Here’s an interesting point. I just went to an nsfw sub to see if I’d get that prompt, and it gives me two ways to verify - selfie or photo ID. The photo ID has to be “government issued”, and maybe I don’t have one of those. The selfie is a link for a phone, using a QR code and I don’t have a phone that can scan QR codes.
This means that in order to access said sub, I’d need to buy a new phone or wait 30 days or whatever to buy some kind of ID. Even with all the other reasons this sucks, that seems discriminatory.
I don’t have a phone that can scan QR codes.
QR codes are a plain text encoding scheme. If you can screenshot it, you have access to FOSS software that can decode it, and you can paste that URL into your browser.
Sure, but the point is, they also could’ve posted a simple link, instead of expecting users like the above, to go thru hoops.
Damn. Did you find something else to jerk to my friend ? ( Shit no I don’t want you to jerk to my friend )
Can’t even get porn models from civitai in a few hours it’s about to be blocked in the UK too.
Try using old.reddit.com. Literally just replace
wwwwithold, or addoldin front ofreddit.com. This should take you to a version of reddit’s interface which isn’t complete trash and it usually also allows you to bypass the need to login for NSFW content.I use rdx.overdevs.com for anything I need on reddit these days, it’s a read only interface that isn’t affiliated with the site and doesn’t track you or advertise anything.
Or use Stealth if you’re on Android.
Once they figure that out they will no doubt get rid of old.reddit.com.
And then you’ll need to use a VPN if you’re in the UK, which is recommended anyway.
And once they do that, this place will get some new users. Guaranteed.
I mean Lemmy has been growing. Think of it as anarchist reddit- no CEO, no ads, no data collected.
I’m only back on reddit because I like to be evangelical from time to time, and I used to mod r/mapporncirclejerk so I like to pop by and say hi.
Edit: I forgot I was on Lemmy lol
I use it for local subreddits. There’s not enough people here for local communities.
It’s over the threshold for a few. Some examples:
[email protected] for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Those are large populations, though. Gonna be hard to get enough people for Podunk, Iowa.
Subscribers is one thing, but the. Bay area community has 2 posts in the last week. That’s not a lot of activity
Brit here, I say fuck the UK government
Fucking Red Tories
It’s weird how they voted against it as opposition, but as soon as they took power just let it in.
Almost as if that’s what they wanted all along.
UK politicians are among the worst. The US certainly has some trash but holy shit are there some real creatures in Parliament.
We have the benefit of a private education system whose primary output is financiers and politicians - give the septics time to figure it out.
In this case I blame the UK government
I’m not sure what you all are doing
I blame all the people with “purity” kinks who took it so far they actually created movements and entire societies based around denying the most natural and harmless feelings we have as a species.
Lol what is this from
Team four stars’ Hellsing abridged. I highly recommend.
FUCK THAT NOISE WTFFFFF give me 2015 back
Lucky we’re on Lemmy, where it’s basically 2015 😁
I’m going to do the Harlem shake at a David Bowie concert!
