    Can confirm the ubo custom filter method works perfectly.

    Because it’s client side it’s gucci, but has anyone tried these UBO rules with other apps such as weddit or other sites employing KWS?

    And, is this gonna be another Consent to Cookies bollocks?

      Client side moderation is a Bluesky thing, I imagine this wouldn’t work on Reddit et al. but that depends on how it’s implemented and is going to be specific to whatever website your accessing. Or you can just use a VPN, like the BBC put it:

      When BBC News wrote about the seven methods of age verification adult websites may use in the UK and the companies who may be employed to do it, one reader comment resonated with many others.

      “Sure, I will give out my sensitive information to some random, unproven company or… I will use a VPN,” they said. “Difficult choice.”

  I wonder what the success rate is if you verify using AI generated faces.

  “The laws in your location require you to verify you’re an adult to access certain features.”

  I’ve got kids who are always looking over my shoulder. This sounds like it will make my feeds safer. Cleaner feeds is threatening me with a good time.

  Is BlueSky really the place for that kind of thing anyway? I certainty don’t like it popping up unannounced, on any platform.

    Learn to install parental filtering on your device if you’re worried about it.

      Clearly people want BlueSky for very different users cases than me. TBH, it’s not been an issue for a while now, maybe because I’ve blocked so much of it when I started I guess.

      I always had “Show NSFW content” unchecked, so it should never have that shit come up.

      To be clearly, I don’t support them doing this. Unchecking “Show NSFW content” should have always worked. If that doesn’t work reliable, why will this identity verification privacy invasion.
