like others said, there are downsides to every approach. Browser based would probably be the most reliable though, the bar for going around it would require a separate device or someone knowing how to install a completely different OS, under the age of 18, without their parents knowledge.
Which of course I knew how to do back in the days of Windows XP, but again that's a very high bar for most people.
I can see Lemmy taking an official approach of "We'll wait for that" because otherwise it's scanning IDs on one end of the spectrum and the other end is a button that says "Yeah I'm totally over 18"
