Thanks, I'll try with sakurajima.moe and see how it goes.

Thanks, I guess I have to find some Japanese accounts to follow and see how mbin takes care of it. Will also try to open an account while over there to see if it still works when back home

Hi, new to the fediverse, mainly looking at Lemmy and mastodon right now through mbin, liking it very much.

I'm a Japanese language learner, currently at N3 and wanted to look at some fediverse content in that language. Keep hearing about misskey, but registration is limited from outside of Japan? I'm going over there next month, does that mean I could open an account while I'm there?

Also a bit confused about how it works, when browsing as a guest everything seems to scroll at lightning speed, how is one supposed to use it?

Oh, but that "diffusal" is literally what has always been sold, that the kids are "digital natives" that just know how to use tech.

Now us millennials need to provide tech support to both Boomers and Gen-Z

There are other ways to ban social media for minors that don't go through full fledged online IDs for everything. But you seem to want to ignore that, it's a false dichotomy.

Banning social media for minors (or better yet, opaque algorithmic feeds for everyone) = Good.

Trying to achieve that by giving overreaching powers to a government, that can be used as a tool of oppression when democracy wavers = very bad.

As for low trust societies, mate, I've been gassed, beaten up and shot at with rubber bullets by riot police in Spain, for the egregious crime of peacefully protesting. It's a country where the memory of the dictatorship, and it's power structures, are still very much alive. Francoism never fully left

I don't want them to use it. I agree with all your points.

I strongly disagree that mandatory ID on the net is the solution to this.

It also fascinates me that you'd think putting such a tool, with all the trouble it could cause if our countries stop being democracies, in the hands of government as a purported solution to children being on social media. That's throwing out the baby with the bathwater

A government platform you say? From the government that regularly gets hacked, leaking the IDs of millions of Spanish citizens that can now be used to commit identity fraud? https://hipertextual.com/seguridad/hackers-venta-millones-dni-espanoles-dark-web/

and it's not like this is a rare thing to happen.
