If sending a small payment is an option for age verification, then I guess that might be the most reasonable for stuff like fedi servers located there? Obviously I'm against having such a law, but if one is going to make websites verify user age, then for a small ad-free platform that in theory should run on user donations anyway, essentially requiring a very small one to use the platform doesn't sound like the worst way? I guess it does pose problems for someone specifically avoiding credit cards tho.
