Underage, you will be unbanned when you turn 18 (happy birthday in advance)
You're viewing a single thread.
Hey, I want your opinion on this matter. As you are currently admin of lemm.ee. Is my ban reasonable or just stupid? Whatever you will say I wil go with it.
Please stay with us đ¶
Most of the user on .world if they can't even see my post what is point of posting :(
I'm afraid .world users will also miss out on your mod actions in all of your communities, which is a particularly unfortunate side-effect.
I don't think it's the end of the world (:P), though - .world is a big instance, but there are still tons of users on other instances. I mean, even in your communities, I don't think .world is not making up the majority of activity.
That's a really problematic choice in the software. Mod actions should not be excluded/ignored even when a remote user is site banned, that can create dangerous situations for your server by allowing all mod actions to federate but not to your server. It just seems like a problem waiting to happen.
You can always just make a fresh account (and don't tell anybody)
The other person suggested an alt without telling anyone, Ssems like the best outcome, really. That way LW can keep a blind eye to the thing, and your posts on your alts wouldn't be banned from LW
There is still lots of people on other instances - and this could push people off .world.
If you don't mind. I know you are currently busy because of new wave of user. Sorry and Thanks
I'm not sure why .world has the 18 age requirement - AFAIK GDPR only requires 16+ if you don't specifically ask for parental consent. Of course, there is the matter of pornography etc, but for example Reddit allows 13+ users, and all they do for pornography is show an NSFW warning, which Lemmy also has (although this is a good point - maybe the NSFW toggle should be improved to explicitly ask users to confirm their age on Lemmy as well, similarly to how it works on Reddit).
But at the end of the day, each instance is free to create whatever rules and processes they want, and to ban people according to those rules. I would say that .world admins are probably just trying to do their best in enforcing their rules, and unfortunately that means that most likely you'll be cut off from .world for the next 5 months đ«€
