On the behalf of the admin and moderation team:

We will not add age-verification unless we will literally be force-shutdown if we don’t.

If we do, it will be a one-on-one call in which you show one of us – personally, on our actual phone numbers or signal or some shit – your ID and we just put a little mark on your profile saying “yep we verified”

we will not, at any point, ever build age-verification into the software nor rely on AI to do it. We don’t fucking want your data, it’s a massive risk to have around.

If we can get by without it, we will simply not do it, even if we have to block some countries. The UK is not a “target market” for app.wafrn.net as we have no target market.

    Yep. As a Fediverse admin that’s basically it. Until there are legal or financial consequences there will be no ID verification. If I am forced… Well my instance will be disabled. Simple as that unfortunately.
