I’m too old for this to matter, but is somebody really expected check the ToS of the server the community they’re posting in is on, or is this just a CYA kind of thing?
You should understand the rules of the places you are posting to, yes.
This is why “let’s pretend this is centralized social media and ignore the fact that we’re all on different websites” is a bad idea, actually. You don’t get to parachute into someone else’s house and expect the rules of your own home apply.
This is one of the reasons why I’m against the anti-intellectualism trend of trying to “consolidate” Lemmy communities. Basically subjects everyone who is potentially interested in a given subject to submit to one singular ToS of the (artificially) “popular” community du jour.
Yeah just ignore and move on. They probably just put that there so they dont get sued for making porn available to minors without warning or something.
I don’t think this is accurate… .world has several of it’s major sub’s who are essentially operate like regime front on fedi ie they follow reddit mod template.
When dead ceo happened they all had a melt down and blocked discussion about that and Luigi citing that they qr elegally obligated to do this and server admin told them to do it.
That turned out to be a fat lie becuasr largest fedi Luigi community is hosted on Lemmy.world
Actually server is fine, it is these neo liberal apologist clowns who operate major sub’s are the issue IMHO
Yeah it’s so fun to watch l.w melting over Luigi, I wonder if they’ll next also melt over reference to Luigi’s Mansion (a videogame) like Reddit is doing.
I disagree. If they want to federate, it is up to them to censor the content they want to share. But I believe in some places, doing so would just open them up to greater liability because they are no longer acting as a “common carrier”.

Federation makes this untenable.
So, I am gonna check TOS of every instance wherever I am posting?

I read the rule of community and instance but not TOS.

Yes, unless you accept the risk of being banned. Every community and every server has its own set of rules.
You can usually safely ignore these rules, but if you get banned you don’t have a leg to stand on if you didn’t bother with reading the rules.
Damn RIP then if I got banned from .world after this post I am leaving Lemmy.
Just… don’t make an issue of it? Apologize and delete some posts?
TBH lot of the internet has an “over 18” requirement somewhere in the ToS, for good reasons, and… yeah.
I have over 2000 posts. And I never hided the fact that I am a teenager.
Not all them, just the thread in the screenshot. With a little apology or something. See what happens.
This is Lemmy, no one wants to ban a good poster.
Looks like you were ten minutes ago: https://lemmy.world/modlog/?userId=1957570 Though I guess you’ll never see this message, then.
Being banned on world news and politics sub’s just mean you are doing everything right
There other places on fedi for freedom enjoyers to congragate…
I have blocked every single poltics community. It’s instance problem not a community problem.
Lemmy.world?
Yea

Oh no… Don’t… Stop…
Like hell even someone care LOL
Technically yes. Practically nobody does.

No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.
