got the notification to verify my age when trying to access NSFW posts or profiles already for a few weeks now, but as of today my whole account is blocked unless I verify. I guess that’s it then. Based in Austria btw, so there is no specific law in place that forces Reddit to implement this and I will definetly not give my personal information to Persona, a company that belongs to Peter Thiels Palantir group.
I know a handful of people that tried Lemmy at my insistence but found the overall culture even more insufferable than reddit and honestly I don’t even blame them. I fear that a lot of folks here are so desperate to “beat reddit” that they are willing to tolerate the most repulsive behaviors and it’s only going to push the mature people away.
I hope I’m wrong, but for someone who doesn’t care about decentralization, being “not reddit” is really all I can see that we have going for us.
define mature.
do you just mean people you agree with?
what do you regard as ‘repulsive’ behaviour?
when I was on reddit there were active sexual predators exploiting people on some subs and some of them were mods. nobody thought that was repulsive.
Hah well… for starters I would say emotionally mature people don’t tend to make demands of the people they’re replying to.
The bad ones can be banned 🤷♀️
Totally but in practice they’re not, and that’s the issue, imo. We’re halfway to being Voat with a trans-flag colored paint job
