I've seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?

In all the history of the world, there has never been an effective technological solution to a sociological problem, legislation mandating such a solution notwithstanding.

Any technological solution you find or build that appears to be effective is merely an illusion of effectiveness to those unaware of its limitations.

Yea, I have no idea why people are even attempting this nonsense. Perhaps they think that 'computers are magic', because it's quite clear that nobody would try to verify someone's age when it comes to posting images through snail-mail.

Of course if they wanted to give it a proper go, maybe someone could make a real age test:

  • which of the following is more irritating:
    • Gorillaz
    • S Club 7
    • N-Sync
  • how much do nappies cost per month?
  • which instrument do you use with a casette?
    • screw-driver
    • VHS player
    • bic
  • which type of phone was most popular in 1995?
    • Nokia
    • Rotary
    • Chordless
