Cannot wait to be excluded from places because 1. I would rather not share my ID with a US company that *totally* is gonna follow GDPR and *totally* will not share my data with third parties 2. I would rather not exclude people that cannot or do not want to get verified Yippieeee

There is a LOT of confusion over this and concerns over privacy and effectiveness, so I spent a few hours doing research and analyzing Persona and what everyone has been saying about Age Verification on bsky, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. This'll be a thread going over my findings. [[ 1 / 27 ]]

Yeah I saw, it does help with privacy concerns but not really with my exclusion issues. I am simply afraid that most people will switch to verified instances, blocking some people out.

I dont really see the perogative to a majority of users going full force into verifying every server, especially with the sizeable amount of underage quest players and such. I could not fathom Black Cat seeing predominantly 18+ instances.

Maybe it is just my perception of parts of the community, I think all that can be done at this point is to wait and see. I just hope the music event scene will not pivot to 18+ fully. Sure IRL that's the case mostly, but that is usually due to alcohol being served and drugs, not NSFW things.

On the other hand one might make the argument that underage people should not be exposed to events where people frequently take drugs and get drunk, but due to me being German and that being quite normal here I see it as more of a topic of maturity.
