TLDR I got banned on .world because their TOS every user should be 18. Even though I am on lemm.ee which allow 16+.

They actually banned you after that? How is federation supposed to work if every user needs to follow every instanceās ToS, not just the one they are on?
Simple: you get banned from the specific instance where youāre violating the rule, like OP did.
It sucks, but this is literally how itās supposed to work. They can participate everywhere except where they are violating the rules.
Realistically, all instances should probably be restricting access to 18+ so they donāt need to navigate the mess of USās COPPA (I think thatās the name) laws regarding retention of minorsā data. Iām sure other jurisdictions have laws around that as wellm
And a free tip from someone a decade and a half past the 18 line: Donāt let people know how old you are online if youāre underaged. Itās just asking for trouble. We all lied about it when we were in your shoes. The ones who didnāt had to deal with creeps.
Agreed, sometimes lying is morally ok. Even after 18, there is no need for stating your age.
