Fixated Units on Nostr: Mastodon in not a proscribed platform under the Australian social media ban ...
Mastodon in not a proscribed platform under the Australian social media ban legislation, although the communications minister could declare it one as they please.
So while the ban on children accessing social media doesn't kick in for year, there's every possibility under-16 Australians could start showing up on the Toots in preperation, which is an odd thought. (Know many who have changed their date of birth or started new back up accounts with DoBs that won't be affected.)
Someone should make them a 'safe' instance, or they could make one themselves.
