Search for adult selfie, submit found photo for age verification. Done.

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

Thank you so much for this!

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.

FunkyStuff@hexbear.net on 18 Jul 15:24 next collapse

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)

VibeCoder@hexbear.net on 18 Jul 17:04 collapse

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

floo@retrolemmy.com on 18 Jul 15:30 next collapse

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

(no judgement)

tehmics@lemmy.world on 18 Jul 16:10 next collapse

If all you know about is the sports mascot fursuits, keep it that way

d00phy@lemmy.world on 18 Jul 19:33 next collapse

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

You’ve been warned.

bilb@lemmy.ml on 20 Jul 00:49 collapse

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.

floo@retrolemmy.com on 20 Jul 00:53 collapse

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.

bilb@lemmy.ml on 20 Jul 00:58 collapse

I completely get it. If I didn’t have a sense of humor about it I’d be miserable.

Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net on 18 Jul 18:51 next collapse

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

Cricket@lemmy.zip on 18 Jul 19:35 next collapse

When you go deep enough

hehehe

apotheotic@beehaw.org on 18 Jul 19:56 next collapse

Don’t have to go particularly deep if you search “furry porn”, life hack

Zerush@lemmy.ml on 20 Jul 10:43 collapse

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.

bacon_pdp@lemmy.world on 18 Jul 15:18 next collapse

Come to the fediverse we have porn?

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de on 18 Jul 17:13 next collapse

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: www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence

eldavi@lemmy.ml on 18 Jul 18:06 collapse

balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

Yes…we should balkanize the UK and US.

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de on 18 Jul 18:15 next collapse

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.

Nighed@feddit.uk on 18 Jul 20:52 collapse

Yeh, but it’s available through your instance even though it’s hosted there…

Unsure how that is meant to work legally.

MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de on 18 Jul 21:03 collapse

Such NSFW images and videos aren’t hosted on other instances. Not mine, and not yours, sadly.

then_three_more@lemmy.world on 18 Jul 19:23 next collapse

If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.

Ibuthyr@feddit.org on 19 Jul 01:33 collapse

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.

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works on 19 Jul 03:07 next collapse

The answer is if they don’t theyre supposed to be blocked in the UK. Which… Who cares. Everyone on here can use a vpn

then_three_more@lemmy.world on 19 Jul 17:24 collapse

They’ll get blocked in the UK. Which, to be honest for a non profit fediverse instance isn’t going to be a bad thing as they’ll loose traffic alongside any donations. Expect UK based instances to start doing something for their users. But there’s lots of other verification options they could use.

…org.uk/…/age-checks-for-online-safety--what-you-…

Ibuthyr@feddit.org on 20 Jul 13:03 collapse

But then UK instances won’t be able to federate with non-UK instances, right? Can this even be enforced?

then_three_more@lemmy.world on 20 Jul 14:50 collapse

I can’t see why that would be the case. The UK users using the UK instance would still have had their ages checked. As far as I understand it doesn’t matter where the adult material on the site has come from. It’s not a law to try to protect against the creation of material by people who aren’t verified, but rather try to reduce the amount of under 18s accessing material.

Ibuthyr@feddit.org on 20 Jul 15:01 collapse

Ah, of course! Classic brain fart.

far_university1990@reddthat.com on 20 Jul 20:08 collapse

The law is, yes. Your thought just bit misguided.

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.

Karjalan@lemmy.world on 20 Jul 01:11 collapse

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

FriendBesto@lemmy.ml on 20 Jul 20:51 collapse

Maybe. They could just let it rot. Let it break over time. Thus pushing people onto the new site.
