@Mastodon @mellifluousbox @Gargron Project leaders should commit now to never poison the codebase with this stuff. If individual servers want to implement invasive age-checks (or have to in order to satisfy their local laws), that's up to them, but do not allow such things to fracture the Fediverse. Commit now to never allowing features such as blocking federation to/from non-age-verified servers.

Decentralised, federated networks are one of the few bastions from which we can fight this. Don’t throw that away.
