Hi all. I don't mean to come down on anybody, but if you're under 18, before you post, please think: "What's the chance that the people who run Mastodon.Social will get in trouble if I post this?"

This is a difficult favor to ask. We all know that sexuality doesn't just turn on on your 18th birthday, but the laws aren't always so sensitive. It would be really awful if m.s had to shut down because we were hosting publicly-visible sexual content from posters 17 and younger.

@CM_noelle Thanks for bringing this to our attention, as difficult as it is. This might not seem like a big deal now but if or (hopefully) when the fediverse continues to grow to the point it threatens to overtake the currently dominant social media silos they may start using their billion$ to lobby legislators and law enforcement.

We don't need to give the big bird or the big blue face unnecessary excuses to pressure the gov't into helping them ruin the internet.
