To comply with Google, all Fediverse instance owners need to pay Google and have they user accounts managed by the Play Store.

Non-Google approved accounts are NOT allowed on your own instance(s) unless you wait 24 hours and watch our non-skippable scare tactic warnings.

@catsalad Oh no

@catsalad Why would instance owners need to do that? Doesn't all this only concern developers? (which is bad enough)

@catsalad Every fedi post you make requires ID verification too, to ensure you are not a scammer.

What is the case, if you getbthe Fediverse App from F-Droid and totally degoogled your phone. Or whats, if you use the Fediverse in a Browser both mobile and Desktop? Am I incapable of Login, because I don't have and don't want a Google Account?
