The change is due to new age verification laws in the UK.

      Yes, the federated model might make it somewhat harder for governments to enforce these kinds of laws. Until those governments catch up. 🙁

        balkanization of all types always seems to be the answer to these sorts of dystopian laws and i hope that it happens despite evidence contrary.

      If this law says in place and is actually enforced all fediverse instances will need to start verifying age for UK users too.

      I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don’t remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com

      TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.
