pull request https://tangled.org/jollywhoppers.com/witchsky.app/pulls/35 removed "proxying" from random parts of the social apps code. this already sounded like a bad idea to me, as the proxying could be there for a genuinely good reason. seems like this confirms it, as removing the proxying completely breaks the age assurance system and causes the screen to appear each time.
this pull request reverts the changes made by the pull request specifically for the age assurance code, i am unsure if that pull request broke anything else, only time will tell, at least this functions again.
