Alternatively, Redlib's also working, though, for a better experience, it requires using Old Reddit's RSS (while it works) along with a redirect script when the login URL is detected.

And similar to Instagram and DeviantArt, once even the alternatives become miserable to use, I will ditch Reddit and not look back.

Get. The fuck. Off. Of reddit. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤌🏼

Reddit has always had dogshit search. I actually don't know if this is malice, or just reddit having shit search.

Mine shows up, but I don't use Reddit so I have no recent search terms and I'm also not in America.

What’s an example of a term this is just as recent? Actually what are three, and which ones appear and which ones don’t?

Every day, I’m happier they booted me off it.

Though now I might have left. Maybe.

Checked there. From what I can (or rather can't) find, no federation-styled protocol and no RSS. Also apparently no way to hide posts, though that maybe I'd need to create an account to confirm, and if I do, might suggest at least about RSS too. But already not very appealing, trying to be a "2010's social media" (walled garden and with repetition in feed that induces addiction) while riding on brand name.

How long until they notice lemmy?

We got government run id checking services already where it calls an api, I put my details in then the government tells the site the result, but not everyone has suitable id.

And I agree with you, there's some unspeakable shit out there, much of it, IMO, not fit for child nor adult, but making everyone pony up ID or facial recognition data or whatever will remove none of that, nor make it less accessible to children. Given basic child psychology it will, in fact, make it more attractive, more's the pity, and time and again children have shown themselves highly effective at circumventing it.This is also AusGov, home of some of the worst IT implementations in the world, whose current plan is, as disclosed so far a month out, she'll be right mate, we got the same mob as the UK used and they reckon it's fine. Better moderation requirements on large social media sites, better blocklists with easy secure implementation explained well to parents, any other number of other things would be more effective and non invasive. But no, it's cheaper (possibly negative expense if there are kickbacks) to let facebook ask for ID or worse.

I agree with you. We are losing our privacy "because of the children"

My point is that there are websites that shouldn't be visited by a 10yo. And that's enterely on their parents. You shouldn't let your child browse the internet completely unsupervised if you don't even bother on setting some filters for their own safety.

You're not wrong, but it's buying in to the 'think of the children' misdirection while privacy rights are snatched away from the entire population. Fight this on privacy (on the internet) grounds, find better ways to require effective moderation (for example) instead, if it's bad for kids it's likely bad for adults, but not for the profit of the corpos that will just step around or wear the fines while hoovering more personal data. Think in terms of car companies creating jaywalking and then getting the scouts to promote the idea.

The biggest excuse you have as a kid is "all my friends have it" with this, there's no hiding

Considering the role Reddit played in spreading Trumpism I dont think this is a bad idea.

Certainly, allowing your kids to browse all the internet, including cesspools such as reddit, facebook and twitter unwatched is a great way of parenting!

If only we had things such as parental controls on these devices and filters to block harmful sites... But alas, none of that exist, so we have to rely on a nanny state.

You’re obviously a great parent. I’d love to know what tips you have.

Hoping to see a surge for aussie.zone

Probably the easiest/cheapest way is to just use an existing identity provider and require all users to sign up through there. Wonder how that will affect the userbase...

I for one welcome our future aussie comrades. Maybe aussie.zone can do a donation drive for more hardware or smth?

I wouldn't call them "massive fines" since, as per the article, they can be of up to $32M, which, for a company that makes billions, are merely operating costs.

I agree, tho, seems too short for a notice requiring something so big.

Bit of an ask to give only a month's notice on having to verify every Australian user's age, technique left up to you (but if it's not good enough, massive fines!)

Never! How can they scroll their own social media if they have to manage their kids?

God forbid you tell parents to start parenting and, I don't know... watch what their kids do online?

Nein! Ist mein data! *incoherent gargling and muttering*
