For stoat, aren't they also in the UK and therefore likely to need age verification soon or do they have some means around that?
Not entirely sure. But Stoat, like Matrix, is decentralised. Although they're decentralised in the same way as Bsky is, where you can run your own instance, but things won't carry over and discoverability without noteriaty isn't exactly possible. But I think it works in their favour making it so that they can't exactly be pinned down and forced to add age verification. Not quite sure so take it with a grain of salt, but I'm semi-confident that they'll be fine.
I see. I will just keep my eyes open and see what info comes forward as it does. I am mostly trying to be as informed as possible cause there's a lot of info flying around. Thank you!
