     @Mastodon @mellifluousbox Thanks! Having in-app donations for the official #Mastodon app is long overdue! Also extenstions will be a nice addition, & hopefully the #Fediverse platforms overall will embrace it (it helped make #WordPress popular).

     The Age Verification should should also be an extension as well (one better left up to a reputable third party). Not all sites will need it yet—but with 𝕏 causing controversy (with kids & AI) I am not surprised governments are pushing for this.

     Fuck your age verification plans. Don’t be fooled #FaceScan and ID laws are not here to protect children, they are here to enable more #surveillance and #fascist ideologies.
