  Christ. Stop using fucking reddit already

    Honestly Lemmy gets mentally draining, constant political drama that is guaranteed to lean left, barely any non-partisan or neutral discussions happen here and god forbid anyone say anything that can be seen as conservative because a barrage of insults are certain to come your way.

      something tells me you whining about not having enough conservative propaganda on a site, that wants nothing to do with it, go back to reddit.

      Lemmy sucks it just sucks different, its the photo negative of truth social and anyone who thinks that this place isnt just a different echo chamber is deluded.

      No matter what happens, I always expect Lemmy to have the worse possible take.

      I also don’t like that politics seems to spill into every community

    Because Lemmy is mostly just a political soapbox, there’s not enough actual non-political content.

    source

    • umbrella@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      post some non political content then. encourage others to.

    • SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Would you rather have a place where you can’t talk about it or else you get banned and any dissent is killed and banned and it’s slowly getting worse day by day?

      Or a foss freedom free structure platform where people can ACTUALLY talk about what’s on their mind? Hmmmm?

      Sounds like you have some privileges you maybe need to realize you have.

      If there was some decent political discussion I wouldn’t mind it as much

      The problem is that people here can’t stand to see anything they might disagree with.

  “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.

  • pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I have perpetually looked like I’m 12 since 2008. That’s the most common number people always give me when they guess my age. I’m so sure an AI would somehow guess correctly.

      My 25 year old SO got carded while my 19 year old 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.

    Reddit doesn’t really care; they’re going to do the bare minimum legally so they can feed more ads and get more clicks.

    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 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.

  • OboTheHobo@ttrpg.network ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It does need better tagging but honestly thats not the issue here. This is because of the new UK law, simple as.

  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.

      With how the law is written, if you think anyone might ever make a mistake (likely), think the government might ever bother going through the hassle of enforcing it (probably less likely if you’re not running a big website), and don’t have loads of spare money to pay huge fines with or to pay an age verification service with (likely), then blocking the UK is the only way to be compliant. It doesn’t require a technicality. The law just doesn’t have any leeway for honest minor mistakes or small hobbyist websites.

    At least on lemmy we can just block instances that do idiotic things like that and still use the rest of the service

      lol wtf!

      I went to use Marketplace last year which meant signing into my old FB account for the first time since like 2013, even though I barely used it before that. Turns out it had been hacked at some point in the last decade and I had to upload a bunch of pics and ID stuff to get it back with a 48 hr review time or something…

      Ooooooor… Just made a new account.

      There was less important dt on that account then there was me giving Meta my latest update on where I am in life now.
