Bluesky adds (broken) age verification

• neogodless 8mo ago
  Almost certainly no big loss. One more social network pushing me out. https://imgur.com/a/nCodoF5 https://imgur.com/a/nCodoF5 <- broken age verification prompts. Breaks on both Firefox and Edge. I don't have Chrome installed to test it on. See also: https://gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b24a83838202908808ad528b3318 https://gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b24a83838202908808ad528... Bluesky's age assurance sucks, here's how to work around it.

    The gist sadly doesn't work. I have tried local overrides and it still redirects to modal screen. I have been able to login to bluesky via third-party client to publish farewell post. Absolutely fuck that.

Our Approach to Age Assurance September 8, 2025 I'm in the U.S. but not a state that has this requirement. No idea why it's requiring it for me (nor why it's so broken.)
