We live in the UK. She didn’t go any further than this. I got her to download TOR and use the “old.Reddit” trick to bypass this so it was only mildly infuriating for her in the end

Fun fact: I can’t see the screenshot as I’m in the UK and your instance has taken the maximally paranoid literal meaning of the OSA and blocked access just in case anything’s accidentally not flagged as NSFW.
The idiots here are your lawmakers and their supporters.
You know how everybody blames boomers for various things, which had nothing to do with them, they were merely victims of the capitalist corrupt systems they lived under? This is your generation’s failure to address the needs of the future. Good luck.
It’s really weird for you to start flinging divisive shit at someone who wasn’t being ageist to begin with, but if you wanna fling shit, start by telling me the average age of the parliament that passed this law.
Them people won’t get hung on a technicality. You have to be nuts not to be paranoid these days.
With how the law is written, if you think anyone might ever make a mistake (likely), think the government might ever bother going through the hassle of enforcing it (probably less likely if you’re not running a big website), and don’t have loads of spare money to pay huge fines with or to pay an age verification service with (likely), then blocking the UK is the only way to be compliant. It doesn’t require a technicality. The law just doesn’t have any leeway for honest minor mistakes or small hobbyist websites.

Don’t forget to use obfs4 bridges
I wouldn’t bother with bridges honestly
If anything use snowflakes
Images should load from your local Lemmy instance right?
But checking now I see you, OP and the com are all from the same instance. So I’m confused.
No, OP is lemmings.world, not lemmy.world.
Oh shit, my bad. Was reading too fast.
But still, the image should load from your local instance right? So in that commenters case, lemmy.world right?
Edit: at least on my instance, it appears to go through a proxy on my local instance:
https://images.lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmings.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F3b9a4c4b-3079-4e67-a5e2-0cd49074d81f.pngDo some other instances direct link images?
Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.
Some instances use the image proxy and others don’t. It seems that mine doesn’t.
At least on lemmy we can just block instances that do idiotic things like that and still use the rest of the service
