@dansup@mastodon.social I'm curious, With the UK's new Ban on Social Media for under 16s forcing users to most likely to have to ID verify for Instagram and other central socials (including YouTube and TikTok).
How do you think this would effect the Fediverse a whole, PixelFed, Loops and more.
(Also believe Canada is looking into a similar ban)

@sam@solent.social It depends on how it's implemented IMO. I'd prefer if Apple and Google verified identities and extended a simple boolean API to verify if they are of minimum age in their territory, we do already have a minimum age of 16 for Loops and Pixelfed.
