Allowing users to mark self as 18+ and opt out of seeing non 18+ users could be a huge leap forward for social media. (lemmy.ml)

Many users do not desire to interact with underage users for many reasons. Some underage users may wish to opt out of seeing 18+ users so they may bond with people closer to them in age or perhaps for safety. I think a functionality to

  • mark your account as 18+
  • hide content from accounts who didn't mark self as 18+
  • hide content from accounts who marked self as 18+ would be very useful to those users and set a higher standard of personalized experience for users engaging with social media.

It's easy not to talk or not to read content from other people. Why is age relevant here? It does as much as sense to me as to have an option to block other genders, religions or even skin colors.
