I've seen them both at different times. We're overdue for another lemmy upgrade... I'll try and get that done later tonight.

Check your language settings. Every post and comment on Lemmy has a language tag associated with it, and Lemmy will only show you posts and comments in languages that you have said you speak. (The Dutch language is called "Nederlands" in its own language, but I think the language settings sort order is based on languages' two-letter code.)

Probably caught up in the measure I put in place to block AI bots a while back. I'll look into it after Christmas etc.

Noooo!
I used my icq all the time! In 1997.

The service was shut down on June 26, 2024

This is a great idea, but keep in mind I'm likely to test it.

I gave Molly my ICQ number

I have offered Molly my dentures and discussed clocking Time Pilot in 1985. I pray this is enough for Lobbyland.

I was having weird 403 issues with the summit app and fixed it by changing the user agent.

error 403 is forbidden, are you coming from a vpn or something like this that cloudflare might be unhappy with?

I can download that xml file ok

Go to your messages and then "All".

Is there a way to check whether I sent her a message? I’m sure I did, but I can’t find it anywhere.

Once I'm through the messages waiting for me, I'll DM the stragglers. I don't know when/if I'm legally required to outright ban non-verified accounts. But for now any delay in getting users verified is on me.

Bluesky asked me to enter my date of birth when I logged in recently. I'm fairly positive that level of effort is mentioned in the legislation as not enough "reasonable steps". There's no way a kid would just lie, right?

We're minnows in the Australian web landscape, and that's probably being generous. I seriously doubt the government is coming after us any time soon to be sure we're responding properly. But if they do, I can and would demonstrate that we've been doing our best.

We're doing something at least. My 14-year-old regaled me with his friends' response to the ban and how completely ineffectual it has been so far. Nobody has been impacted yet, they're just going about their day with whatever accounts they had before December 10.

thanks, it just seemed a bit robotic and I was having flashbacks to...oh every single IVR I've ever had to fight professionally lol

I've been slack AF with* messaging Molly, and coming up with a mildly not boring way to confirm age without compromising my footprint. What's the time frame you want to get stuff confirmed before you start canning accounts?

All good. The final month of the year is without question the busiest for a lot of folk. Don't push too hard, though.

Sorry, that was me. I'm working from the Molly inbox because mine is full of user reports and site-wide stuff. Keeping the user verifications in the Molly account just means we keep them separate from anything else. I'll have another look tonight (I can't access Reddit from work) and see if I missed something.

Sorry - December is a busy time. It took me a while to set up the system to record stuff in a way that we can report on it if that ever becomes a thing. I've started replying to the messages, but there are 130 to go as I look at the inbox right now. I'll get to you, I promise.

I have sent Molly some verification, going with the alcohol route eight days ago. However, I haven't heard anything back so far, so I can't say for sure if I am approved or not.

Is molly a bot? Because right now i am stuck in an extremely aggravating idiot loop.

I have literally added my aussie.zone to my ye olde reddit profile to prove my over-sixteenness, but it keeps telling me it can't verify that's actually me unless i ...shit up some random reddit thread with a comment saying the wxact same thing that is going to get immediately deleted

I sent something through but never got a reply so I don't know if I did it right or not

seems easy enough, just have bot read comments and if anyone says any trigger phases like "gyat, bussin, 6-7, aura-farm, unc, chopped, Dubai Chocolate" more than 10 times a month then message them asking if they are over 16. I feel like that complies.

It could be a bit of fun having a bunch of old people discuss the trigger words every quarter in a stickied thread.

disclaimer, I say 'easy enough' while having no idea how much is involved with this idea

i completely agree, i just don’t think that particular line of reasoning (not taking into account anonymous sites) proves that

if they wanted to do it properly, they’d have a system that integrates with mygovid that sites can integrate with via some oauth-like flow (login with facebook, login with google, etc: but verify with mygov), and the only thing the site gets back is a “yes over 16”

the government has this data; there’s no reason anyone else should see it

of course that’s also assuming the whole concept is a good idea, which is absolutely not… it’s wallpapering over a massive problem whilst solving absolutely nothing and causing issues
