got the notification to verify my age when trying to access NSFW posts or profiles already for a few weeks now, but as of today my whole account is blocked unless I verify. I guess that's it then. Based in Austria btw, so there is no specific law in place that forces Reddit to implement this and I will definetly not give my personal information to Persona, a company that belongs to Peter Thiels Palantir group.
Welcome to lemmy!
That's why i started using Lemmy
It's better here anyway. Spez has banned everyone and there's only bots left.

I didn’t think there was anyone left on Reddit but bots
I miss some of the people on Reddit, but I don't miss Reddit.
In time, they'll appear here (or in similar places).
I'm never going back.
It's always interesting to see what it takes for someone to leave reddit. It wasn't all the bullshit before, but this is was over the line for this user. How much more can they keep getting away with before a tipping point? The standards people have today are so eroded.
is it reddit doing something drastic recently? seen an uptick .
I will not play games that require tpm and secure boot, and I will not use software that requires any sort of identity verification to use. the internet is simply a tool for entertainment for most of my uses, communication is optional.
Better late then never. Welcome to the party.
Honestly, a VPN is a good investment in your online safety anyway and would bypass this age verification bullshit. We have it in Australia too. Philippines don't.
You need to create an alias and not forget it, so you can use a completely different "person" on these shitty sites. I've got a dozen email addresses with names, birthplaces, dates, etc. never know who I am.
