perhaps you aren’t aware of how many instances there are that have much looser rules
Comment on If you're still on Lemmy...

But I don’t think that’s true at all.

I haven’t seen anyone share their age that’s less than 18 since that change 🤷♀️

I hadn’t seen that before the change? I didn’t even know there was one.

Lemmy.world is the second largest Lemmy instance, and less than a third of all users. If someone doesn’t like their rules it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who’s ruleset better aligns with their wishes.

How?
Can I just move my existing account to a different instance? Or do I need to create a new account on another instance?

With Mastodon you can migrate your account, Lemmy can’t migrate (yet). But the difference between Fediverse and commercial platforms is that you can access the same network of content from different instances. With Twitter/Reddit etc. everyone is forced onto a single instance (and a single moderation policy).
