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

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.

The idiots here are your lawmakers and their supporters.

Them people won't get hung on a technicality. You have to be nuts not to be paranoid these days.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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.

I wouldn't bother with bridges honestly

If anything use snowflakes

Images should load from your local Lemmy instance right?

But checking now I see you, OP and the com are all from the same instance. So I’m confused.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No, OP is lemmings.world, not lemmy.world.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Oh shit, my bad. Was reading too fast.

But still, the image should load from your local instance right? So in that commenters case, lemmy.world right?

Edit: at least on my instance, it appears to go through a proxy on my local instance:

https://images.lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmings.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F3b9a4c4b-3079-4e67-a5e2-0cd49074d81f.png

Do some other instances direct link images?

Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.

[–] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Some instances use the image proxy and others don't. It seems that mine doesn't.

[–] FishFace@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

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