What would possibly be the consequences for either parent or child if they violate?

If the law designed is any good, there should be none. The responsibility to check whether the parent has agreed should be laid on the social media giants, not the child or the parent. It should be a tool for parents to control the social media consumption of their kids. And after reading the article, which I highly recommend, it seems to be the case:

The broad law comes with heavy burdens for online platforms. It requires basically any digital services provider that collects an email at sign-up to conduct age verification to identify all minors, verify parents or guardians connected to all minors identified, and secure parental consent for a wide range of account activity.

Please read the articles that you post. Asking follow-up questions that are already answered is a little stupid.

Good b… Oh wait, we need more useful bots on Lemmy

There’s an excellent style available through userstyles that might make the experience more bearable. If you have some technical skill and time, you could make one that looks and behaves as old.reddit. I expect something like that will appear soon there as I hear more and more complaints about the UI.

What’s the benefit of doing this apart from a technical challenge and fun? Such a server wouldn’t support the network in any way, right?

It’s important for resiliency, but I’m afraid that many communities will loose a lot of value when they don’t agree on a place to go

True, mobile experience is truly terrible and must be prioritized imo

I miss more intuitive comment collapsing, I used it a lot to skip conversations faster than scrolling through them.

The whole federation thing is not intuitive for new folks. Although watching the lemmy.ml bubble is pretty funny.

I’m interested in reading more about Lenny’s privacy and internal workings, but this information is pretty hard to find.

Docs for anyone interested

I’m concerned about a reliable deletion mechanism Lemmy doesn’t care about your privacy

Reddit thread of the same story

I’m also concerned by some posts which I hope are not true:

Lemmy’s creator banned from r/socialism for posting neo nazi literature

There have been some privacy concerns regarding Lenny’s implementation (deleted posts and whatnot). Which has kept some users second-guessing the change. I have tried aether before coming here, but sadly, there are not enough people there.

I just hope that the community from Reddit doesn’t spread itself out too much :(
