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
What about using lynx or eww?
Once more Reddit! Yea!!! Just delete your account and move along.
I would - if Reddit would allow me to log in.
I was banned 5 days ago for 6 days. Can I be strong enough not to go back? Please give me the strength to stay away.
I got a 3 day ban, 2nd offence, on my 6th account, after the 3-day ban I abandon the account.
Only took 6 weeks this time and I was watching myself. They have dishonest moderation At Site wide level and I do not want to use it at all either, unless maybe two Shuffle people to the fediverse.
They have dishonest moderation
The mods are also unaccountable. They can (and do) simply ignore your DMs asking for details or reconsideration of your ban. And even if they do respond, the reasoning will be a short gibberish response that you cannot appeal.
Also many will remove your comments without telling you, it appears to be posted, I learned reveddit showed you what was removed.
But yeah mods work for free so allowing their petty tyranny is a selling point of the gig, not sure how lemmy works, did see one dude that said banned user arguing with people on another instance.
The audience over there is definitely a lot less intelligent than we have over here. And the bots & reposts & even bots COMMENTING are probably an overwhelming majority of the audience over there. It's sick & pointless & a waste of time & I must break the addiction.
I'm not gonna lie, I visit Reddit too, but without an account and in private, for 3 and only communities. Most of my time is Lemmy. You can start slowly like I do. People use to complain about dead niche communities here, but no one contributes like some users do every day here. Be the change and help communities grow, so you don't have to go back to Reddit.
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.
It's also one of those.
It's a piece of luggage actually. Fun fact Portmanteau is itself a portmanteau of porter (to carry) and manteau (mantle).
Christ. Stop using fucking reddit already
The problem is that the vast majority of content and activity is on the more normie side of the web.
People still use X more than BlueSky or Mastodon, after all.
It's where the porn is. Is my hypothesis.
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.
Politics, tech, and Star Trek are the only three topics on Lemmy in any significant numbers, and even tech is politics half the time. The gaming communities are mostly politics about gaming, the porn communities are mostly dead, and forget anything more specific (other than Trek of course.)
Because Lemmy is mostly just a political soapbox, there's not enough actual non-political content.
post some non political content then. encourage others to.
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.
Methods for age verification can include facial age estimation
Can't that be easily bypassed by using an older person for the selfie shot?
They did not call out the true mofivation of lawmakers so they are complicit.
“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.....
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.
Can’t have kids looking at teeth! Next thing you know, they’ll want to become, forgive me for this, dentists.
Rofl what a piece of piss website
Oi mate! Ya got a loicense fer dat dental advice?
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.
Reddit isn't worth it any more IMO, It's all just downvoting and moaning over everything. Yes that happens here but at least people seem to talk more.
