Underage, you will be unbanned when you turn 18 (happy birthday in advance)

PTB. This is unreasonable. Also trying to prevent teenagers from accessing the internet is just going to lead to all teenagers just lying about their age. It's not going to stop it. It's just going to mean they can't discuss their actual opinions and issues honestly. It would also reinforce the need to lie to be part of culture, which is just not healthy.
Teenagers lying about their age on the internet is as old as teenagers on the internet.
Keeping the age barriers in place is good anyway. It communicates to younger people clearly that the content is not considered suitable for them. It gives them a moment to think and reconsider.
Participating in online culture might be generally not healthy for adults as well.
I hope you're independently wealthy and can afford legal fees.
What's most important is that you got to feel smug.

What's most important is not having every fucking instance other than .world hanging from a legal thread. Isn't your instance based in the E fucking U? That's not exactly the wild fucking west as far as legal requirements for hosts go.
Believe it or not, I don't want any of this shit going down. I'm not fucking 20, I'm not full of vim and vigor. I don't get a fucking thrill out of fighting with people online anymore. I question why I stay in these communities when everyone seems content to play chicken on the railroad tracks.

I find this hard to believe
That's literally the only reason he does it, otherwise he would've stopped a long time ago.
after two decades of unfettered internet access, I still love picking fights.
maybe I'm just built different

I find it tedious and miserable. I engage for the same reason I can't leave trash on the floor - the inaction irritates me more than the tedious action. If I find trash on the floor constantly in a public area, I'm more likely to leave than become a super-cleaner.
.... bye, I guess.
Man, that constant "I'm the only adult in the room" vibe you try to have is getting

obnoxiousold.Yeah, I fucking agree. It's getting real old being the only adult in the room. I didn't realize the admins of most Lemmy instances were just winging it, thinking "Well, when it comes crashing down, it comes crashing down 😊"
Utter zero-foresight techbro shite. Jesus Christ.
Sadly You're not the real adult in the room. You're just a smuglord who's way too high on the smell of their own farts.

Legit, I thought you took your instance more seriously than this. This is basic covering-your-ass shit.
I am not inclined to seriously discuss our instance with people who act obnoxiously.

Well, then I hope you find someone non-obnoxious to discuss it with. Because if you're actually interested in dbzer0 as more than a hobbyist project that breaks when-it-breaks, being able to address and head off legal issues is core to the long-term survival of a site. Whereas acting like being wary of the laws of forces that absolutely can royally fuck your site is fundamentally unreasonable rather than a very real threat that must be addressed one way or another is a great way to get... well, royally fucked.
