Every instance on the Fediverse has its own set of rules written by the people who run that instance.
If you disagree with them, you can move to another instance with different rules.
This is how the Fediverse differs from centralised social media such as Twitter/Facebook/IG, there is no single group or person with power over everyone.
On Mastodon, you can see your instance rules by clicking on the "About this server" link in the bottom left.
@feditips If you don't like any of the rules anywhere, set your own server up and take responsibility for the security, safety and financial support of the server.
@zleap @feditips "anyone can setup a server" is false information. Less tech inclined users are definitely not able to setup a server and misleading informations like this damage the Fediverse reputation, because it leads to highly frustrated non-users. Been there, done that, got no shirt. Personally I think that "everyone can setup a server" is a highly arrogant attitude.
So if a child of 10 says they are 13, by the time they are really 13 they are 16, so at the age of consent, by the time they are 16 they are 19 on the platform and therefore adults
It opens a real can of worms for the developers at least who will be blamed despite the child being in the wrong for lying about their age.
@zleap
Indeed. And fuck censorship cancel culture and rest of that rubbish.
Minus minors protections.
