Seems to me, there’s no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.

Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.

The app wants access to your phone’s camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don’t know for certain, but I’m 99.9% there’s probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.

What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.

There are far too many people who will benefit financially from this to allow that to happen.

Orly? Can you give me a couple of examples?

I’m opposed to this trend myself, btw. But I just interpreted as a bit of pointless over regulation by a bunch of populist nanny-statists. You’re telling me there’s financial interests involved as well?

You’ve obviously neverheard of the illustrious 8th century Norwegian King, Eystein the Fart.

There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried

Can I have source?

EDIT: Don’t worry, found it

I had no idea that this was going on. I expect that, like me, most people are horrified.

On the top of my head, I’d say a trust-level system would be great, both for instances and users. New instances and users start out on a low trust level. Posts and commemts federated by them could be set to require approval or get deranked compared to other posts and comments.

Good thinking, but devil’s advocate here: might make it difficult for new users to post anything. I can imagine a lot of communities would utilise that feature, maybe even the majority.

Great translate feature. Instant.

Problem is that these Americans talk. A lot.

The grim reaper in Monty Python wasn’t just whining. The struggle is real.

I generally only use the Android client. But if there’s any similarity, there’s no way to stop them spamming you with their shorts.

YouTube be like

It’s interesting, I’ll give it that. But considering that police have investigated and found nothing illegal, how is this anyone else’s business?

It’s an online community that people have been using for decades. The fact that many of us can’t use it anymore is a real issue, even if it isn’t relevant to you (believe it or not).
