“The SCOPE Act takes effect this Sunday, Sept. 1, and will require everyone to verify their age for social media.”

So how does this work with Lemmy? Is anyone in Texas just banned, is there some sort of third party ID service lined up…for every instance, lol.

But seriously, how does Lemmy (or the fediverse as a whole) comply? Is there some way it just doesn’t need to?

    Getting people to agree to a mistaken, misinformed premise does not mean you are right.

    Lest you also believe the world is a flat pancake and other various nuttery.

    Also, you clearly know what the difference is, since your list of examples is nothing but social media.

    Again. Stop trying to make everything social media. You have all the social media you need to fuel your need for attention, as is. You don’t need to make non-social media into more of it.

      Wikipedia: „Lemmy (social network) - Open source social media software“

      Also: „Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and aggregation of content (such as ideas, interests, and other forms of expression) amongst virtual communities and networks.“ How does Lemmy not fit that description?
