Is it just a selfie? I can still access NSFW reddit content without even logging in though.

Is it only a selfie? AI gen go brrr?

does the federated nature of lemmy/piefed/kbin/etc prevent governments from taking action against them?

NSFW selfies?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Umm. I just tried old.reddit on a "gonewild" subreddit with no login even, and it was fine. Now I'm sure they'll patch it out. But, seems to be an easy workaround as of right now.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 12 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I don't think it's been fully rolled out to everyone yet, as they don't have to start enforcing it until a later date.

Reddit stopped being any good when that guy doing a batman/joker role reversal writing prompt stopped posting

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago

That said, as someone who has posted stuff like that and had it spread without my consent, screw (very much not literally) consuming that shit without taking the same risks as the people sharing what they get off to.

I do think its gross to require it for the other NSFW stuff. Drug forums are very important resources for harm reduction.
