“The laws in your location require you to verify you’re an adult to access certain features.”
I’ve got kids who are always looking over my shoulder. This sounds like it will make my feeds safer. Cleaner feeds is threatening me with a good time.
Is BlueSky really the place for that kind of thing anyway? I certainty don’t like it popping up unannounced, on any platform.
Edit: To be clear, I have no problem with it being announced on a platform. I object to it being unannounced on a platform where I have “Show NSFW content” unchecked.
Clearly people want BlueSky for very different users cases than me. TBH, it’s not been an issue for a while now, maybe because I’ve blocked so much of it when I started I guess.
I always had “Show NSFW content” unchecked, so it should never have that shit come up.
To be clearly, I don’t support them doing this. Unchecking “Show NSFW content” should have always worked. If that doesn’t work reliable, why will this identity verification privacy invasion.
I haven’t had a problem with NSFW content when that setting was turned on. There are occasionally shirtless pics of men There’s also a lot of clothed anime titties (think Lara Croft).
If you’re really worried about what your children are going to see, you really should install some sort of parental filter software. BlueSky is not the only app that can expose children to adult content.
I believe there are also a lot of pre-made blocklists you can set up on blue sky that might help you. Though I have not tried that myself yet.
I hadn’t explored block lists on bsky. Just looked, and added a few, though it is seams focused on anti MAGA/fascist/racists stuff. Pressing subscribe to get to block is not initiative.
