Oh and it is not only games. Has anyone a idea how to implement age verification for the fediverse? So have fun here as long as it lasts, because it will all burn under this law!

I really wish we would move to some more resilient protocol, where the roles and responsibilities are more distributed, and identities fully portable.

and what would that change in regards of that law? It would still need a way to implement age verification and I really don’t see a way for an open, federated, distributed system like the fediverse to implement it. It is in its core principles incompatible with age verification. I can’t see a way for the fediverse to survive this law, not in the EU at least.

Not really. Take nostr as an example. You probably wouldn’t even notice if one or more of your relays went down due to legal, or any other problem. The move to a non compliant or offshore relay is just a single click away. No registrations, no new usernames, no new social graph.
It’s not about becoming compliant, it’s about becoming ungovernable.
