and my axe


Love a good Covert Cabal video


This is what I see?



I think it looks pretty :)
Then what is the point of what the OP is saying? How is Mastodon any different? If anything it looks like it’s worse because ICE just have a basic link to their website and it’s done.
What’s stopping ICE from verifying on Mastodon?
Does Mastodon even have the verification feature?


there’s no banning or blocking of social media sites
This is what the so-called “kill zone” near Pokrovsk looks like from the enemy’s perspective (source). The anti-tank ditch is packed with the bodies of Russian stormtroopers.
Neither Solyovyov nor Skabeeva would ever show this—their narrative is all about “surgical advances across the entire frontline with minimal sanitary losses.”
A real mass grave.
Worth noting: the corpses haven’t been cleared, enemy vehicles don’t drive there, and another assault group marches in under fog when Ukrainian drones can’t monitor.
^ translation of the description of the video
I’m not going to link directly to the video as I don’t want to get banned but there’s been a few videos now of what Russians are seeing in Pokrovsk and it ain’t pretty that’s for sure, this is the channel but it’s mainly ukrainian news so you’ll have to scroll up a bit:


No, it’s account based, in a lot of cases changing your DNS won’t change the server you end up with at Youtubes or whoever
Age-restricted platforms are expected to take reasonable steps to:
find existing accounts held by under-16s, and deactivate or remove those accounts
prevent under-16s from opening new accounts
prevent workarounds that may allow under-16s to bypass the restrictions
have processes to correct errors if someone is mistakenly missed by or included in the restrictions, so no one’s account is removed unfairly.
Does every Australian now have to prove their age to use social media?
For example, if someone has had an account since Facebook started in Australia in 2006, Meta could reasonably assume they are older than 16 so no further check is needed.

Platforms then use a variety of signal’s to detect if someone is under 16:

DNS has nothing to do with it


How are they going to enforce any of that on a company with no office in Australia? Answer: They can’t.
Then how am I still able to access youtube, facebook and all the others without needing to give them my ID?
You think youtube and facebook don’t have offices in Australia?
That’s a lot of text just to say “I’m an idiot who loves bending over for the government”.
I’m simply telling you what the government is telling social media companies that allow Australian users to create accounts on their websites
You can change your DNS all you want mate, I’m just saying it won’t make a difference


Then how am I still able to access youtube, facebook and all the others without needing to give them my ID?
DNS translates domains like youtube.com into IP’s like 1.1.1.1, this has no bearing when you make a social media account in Australia:
It’s not a ban, it’s a delay to having accounts.
This means there will be no penalties for under-16s who access an age-restricted social media platform, or for their parents or carers. However, age-restricted social media platforms may face penalties if they don’t take reasonable steps to prevent under-16s from having accounts.
https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions
As of 10 December 2025, Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube are required to take reasonable steps to prevent Australians under 16 from having accounts on their platforms.
If you have an australian account registered with those websites and they suspect you are under 16 you will have to verify your id
As explained here the platforms will need to check:

How can under-16s be stopped from finding a way around the age restrictions?
Platforms may assess age-related signals which can help work out if someone is under 16. These signals can include:
how long an account has been active
whether the account holder interacts with content targeted at children under 16
analysis of the language level and style used by the account holder and the people they interact with
visual checks, such as facial age analysis of the account holder’s photos and videos
audio analysis, such as age estimation of the voice of the account holder
activity patterns consistent with school schedules
connections with other users who appear to be under 16
membership in youth-focused groups, forums or communities.
Platforms may also use location-based signals which can help work out if an account holder usually lives in Australia and could be using a VPN to pretend they don’t. These signals can include:
IP address(es)
GPS or other location services
device language and time settings
a device identifier
an Australian phone number
app store or operating system or account settings
photos, tags, connections, engagement or activity.
Evidence of these age and location signals is expected to trigger the age assurance process, or review of an account if it has already been checked.
https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/faqs
On top of this there are plenty of services that block VPN’s, most famously Netflix.
So yeah, changing one aspect of your account while leaving all the others won’t get around the ban
Edit: Nice alt accounts, loser.
This is my primary account and always has been? What’s with the loser? Why so cranky?


that is not how the social media ban works…


Legends 💪


simply that these platforms usually get boosted by Reddit doing a scandal
Then the question is, why is it when users come from reddit they don’t hang around? they don’t tell their friends, hey this is a place that’s awesome!
Every bit of decentralised user friction is friction that centralised platforms don’t have
I’m very happy piefed is tackling some of these bits of friction but more is needed.
When did he say this? Is this real?
