Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

    You’re more likely to see Wayland suddenly stop having in fighting and all simultaneously. Agree on every protocol going forward. Matrix having a frictionless client that is feature parody with discord.

      I have hope. There are ways to design the front-end that smooth over the technical aspects for non-technical users. The mastodon sign-up page is a good example of this.
