My friend got this when she tried to view a Reddit post about a dental issue that got marked as NSFW
(lemmings.world)
We live in the UK. She didn't go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the "old.Reddit" trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end
Because Lemmy is mostly just a political soapbox, there's not enough actual non-political content.
Having apolitical fun over in !selfhosted@lemmy.world 😁
Edit: !imsorryjon@lemmy.world & !imaginarydragons@leminal.space look apolitical to me, too
I love it here but you gotta admit its like 50/50 politics and programming. It's just like old old reddit
I want the Reddit from 5 years ago

Christ. Stop using fucking reddit already
We would love to, if not for the accumulated knowledge which can't be (easily) found elsewhere.
To be fair it's about the new UK nanny dictatorship law.
In theory lemmy should do the same and the UK government could sue and block access of any lemmy instance not following their ludicrous laws.

Reddit needs a better tagging system than just NSFW. It was pointless having a filter when you don't subscribe to any porn subreddits and all the ones you are subscribed to don't allow porn in the first place. It's only natural people started using NSFW for other things, most notably spoilers, which I believe they've added in recent years. If you had the filter enabled, you ended up missing out on content.
It does need better tagging but honestly thats not the issue here. This is because of the new UK law, simple as.
Also some shitty Republican states in the US.

“Estimate age from selfie”?! Wtf have we become…
When I was 14, I looked like I was 20. When I was 20, I looked like I was 35. When I was 35, I looked like I was 50. You can’t determine someone’s actual age from a fucking photo. Jesus.
Am 45. Constantly get told by 20 somethings that I look 26-28. I still get carded.....
My 25 year old SO got carded while my 19 year old brother wasn’t questioned when we were at a liquor store. I think because my brother had a big beard they assumed he must be old lol.

When I was working at a local supermarket, we had the instructions to explicitly ask anyone for ID that we deemed 40 or younger, when they tried to buy tobacco or alcohol. For that exact reason.
Reddit doesn't really care; they're going to do the bare minimum legally so they can feed more ads and get more clicks.
Just send them a random selfie from the internet, no?
You nees to do a video looking left, right, saying some numbers. The companies that do the verification are owned by Peter thiell and co

Can’t have kids looking at teeth! Next thing you know, they’ll want to become, forgive me for this, dentists.
That's a cavity in the law right there. Guess they don't want us to brace ourselves for the harsh realities of molars online 😂

Fun fact: I can't see the screenshot as I'm in the UK and your instance has taken the maximally paranoid literal meaning of the OSA and blocked access just in case anything's accidentally not flagged as NSFW.

This sounds more like a "fuck UK age restriction laws" not reddit.
The UK's age restriction laws online are now enforced under the Online Safety Act (OSA), which requires online platforms to verify the age of users before they access categories of "harmful" content, including pornography and content related to self-harm or eating disorders. Websites, apps, and services hosting such content must implement robust age checks, with platforms facing significant fines or blocking if they fail to comply. Methods for age verification can include facial age estimation, ID scanning, or credit card checks.

Rofl what a piece of piss website
redlib?
I was gonna say the same
Oi mate! Ya got a loicense fer dat dental advice?
You could use redlib.catsarch.com or redlib.lesbnyan.top
lesbnyan.top
I don't understand fancy tech lingo and that sounds vaguely kinky.
It is.
It's a portmanteau of lesbian and nyan.
Wow and you just taught me the definition of "portmanteau" in context too. I never really knew what that word meant but it sounds like a big fancy wooden piece of furniture.

Shit like this is why I'm using a VPN
They got you covered, their network security will ban you and block you from access.
Remember when reddit was about being anonymous?
