"If VPNs cause significant issues, the Government must identify those issues and find solutions, rather than avoiding difficult problems.”

When I was a kid, Reddit and general public Internet access weren't things, but I sure managed to get my hands on pornography. I'm pretty confident that even entirely killing Internet access isn't going to stop kids who want to get ahold of porn from getting ahold of it.

I mean, there are two problems here.

The first problem is solving this for the kind of people who are going to set up the above on their networks.

The other is solving it for the general public, which I would suggest is harder.

3:14:08 AM, January 19, 2038 may be trouble.

Ah, gotcha. I don't remember seeing a decline, but maybe I wasn't looking for it.

EDIT: It looks like /u/ShittyWatercolour is still posting as of two months ago:

This is not making me any happier about the tendency of some newer cars to be shipped without spare tires. :-/

The fall of novelty accounts? That's a new one on me.

I was reddit faithful for over a decade. Lemmy is like reddit’s early days, I recognize users across multiple communities

In Reddit's really early days, there weren't any subreddits.

goes back to archive.org to find out when that was

Looks like their snapshot on January 10, 2007 lacks a subreddit sidebar, and the one on January 13, 2007 has one, so probably somewhere in there.

The first snapshot they have of Reddit is August 4, 2005, so it was like that for about a year-and-a-half.

While true, it's also the case that the NSFW communities are, today, a lot smaller than on Reddit. I think that that's true of pretty much all communities; not something specific to NSFW communities. The population here is just smaller.

@GrumpyCat@leminal.space, this URL will show you what instances your home instance is defederated from.

https://leminal.space/instances

Click the "Blocked instances" tab.

Most of the blocked instances are related to underage anime


"shota" or "loli" feature prominently in those instance domain names


but burggit.moe also has con-noncon content, and lemmynsfw.com is pretty mainstream.

You might either (a) switch home instances if you want to browse NSFW communities or (b) just create a second account on a second instance and use that to browse NSFW, if you're otherwise happy with leminal.space.

It's also possible to filter stuff at the user level if it's tagged correctly as NSFW, but frankly, people don't do a perfect job of that.

IIRC, they have hybrids with a bunch of other berries that don't have thorns.

I don't think that boysenberries have thorns, though I haven't been picking them for a long time.

Apparently there are thorny and thornless variants.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boysenberry

The boysenberry /ˈbɔɪzənbɛri/ is a cross between the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus), European blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), American dewberry (Rubus aboriginum), and loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus).[2]

In the 1980s, breeding efforts in New Zealand combined cultivars and germplasm from California with Scottish sources to create five new thornless varieties.[5]

The loganberry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loganberry

The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is a hybrid of the North American blackberry (Rubus ursinus) and the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus),[1][2] accidentally bred in 1881 by James Harvey Logan, for whom they are named.[3] They are cultivated for their edible fruit.

A prickle-free mutation of the loganberry, the 'American Thornless', was developed in 1933.

The "smooth blackberry":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubus_canadensis

Rubus canadensis is a North American species of flowering plant in the rose family known by the common names smooth blackberry,[2] Canadian blackberry, thornless blackberry and smooth highbush blackberry.[3] It is native to central and eastern Canada (from Newfoundland to Ontario) and the eastern United States (New England, the Great Lakes region, and the Appalachian Mountains).[4][5] It has also been sparingly recorded in Great Britain, in which it is often confused for the many other native blackberry species.[6]

Smooth blackberry has almost completely smooth stems that are free of prickles and spines.

Probably others.
