Comment on Do instances exist where you can be 13+?

Why do you care?
If it’s just about following the rules as a matter of principle, I suggest not doing that. Nobody is checking, and saying your exact age on public social media is oversharing anyway.
If it’s about content moderation being strict enough to satisfy some comfort level, I wouldn’t rely on that, but I also think 13 is old enough to start learning there are shitty people online and how to deal with them, preferably with some adult support.

There was a user that was revealed to be under 18, maybe they were 16 almost 17, Abe they got banned, by .world (I could be wrong there).

How were they revealed?

if it’s who I think it is, they themselves said so

And that is what I would recommend against, even on a server that does not ban that age. If someone’s (young) age is relevant to a discussion they wish to participate in, I would suggest a throwaway account.

Was it that one 14 yr old girl??

Maybe, I thought they were older than 14. But I only followed a bit and my aging memory may be failing me.

They may have been 16-17 then. Her?? or no?
