This may be the doomer in me, but I fear this will spell the end of Aussie.zone - Lemmy fits the definition of social media, but I don't know how it's feasible for @lodion to verify every user's age...

Liked this solution from chinwag. https://chinwag.au/verification/

That sounds pretty good. The problem is that getting the Gin to @lodion may be a bit tricky. Also the quality of server administration may not be to the same standard as they dispose of the Gin.

What about uploading a picture of the Dan Murphy checkout chick giving a thumbs up?

If that's the case, we just all pack up and take over some British instance.

A little payback for the colonisation /s

A possible ban on social media for under-16s in the UK is "on the table", the technology secretary Peter Kyle has told the BBC.

I think leave it 6 months and look at what everyone else is doing. It's too early to be freaking out, and without government guidance there's no hope of working out what will and won't count based on what the Aussies are saying in this post (including the article).

main reason for it - no anonymous account on social media for_everyone_. It just another surveillance imposing law.
