The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

      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.

          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.

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

        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.

      When I was 6, I earned my pen licence at school.

      Now as an adult, who do I need to prove my proficiency to in order to receive my wanking licence?

    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.

    Several years ago, I tried making an Instagram account. It was locked immediately (on first log in). They good me to upload a selfie where I was also holding up my driver’s license.

    This is horrible, I remember they did the same thing with Facebook marketplace (only for everything not only NSFW lol) although you can just use a random AI generated face.
