My point here is that they won’t be able to stop people with ‘unverified’ OS accessing the internet.

I’m not sure what you are disagreeing with. That’s generally what I said. If you use a non-compliant OS, your experience will be “age-gated”.

There will just be OS and OS forks that mimic other OS to ‘trick’ websites into thinking they’re verified.

Many of whom won’t be based in the USA.

You want a “papers please” internet and technology sphere, and you’re calling for this on a federated platform heavily populated by people who want to get away from all of that. What sort of response do you expect?

There will always be sites that don’t care and won’t comply with any OS level restrictions in the first place. You will never solve this.

Also, in the USA - there’s no suggestions floating around for a 16 or under age ban on accessing social media, moreover, I’m not sure if that specifically is even constitutional.

What should Lemmy hosts have to do, out of interest?

Slack is also paywalled to a laughable level.

Because Discord isn’t just for friend groups, it’s also for large open-entry servers open to the wider userbase. Slack-based/group chat alternatives completely lack this.

Bringing in age-ID verification that they had to apply in the UK and Australia globally for all accounts to access NSFW channels and to be able to take the baby filter off of DMs.

They got heavy backlash for it, and have now delayed it.
