I’m too old for this to matter, but is somebody really expected check the ToS of the server the community they’re posting in is on, or is this just a CYA kind of thing?
Yeah just ignore and move on. They probably just put that there so they dont get sued for making porn available to minors without warning or something.
You should understand the rules of the places you are posting to, yes.
This is why “let’s pretend this is centralized social media and ignore the fact that we’re all on different websites” is a bad idea, actually. You don’t get to parachute into someone else’s house and expect the rules of your own home apply.

Federation makes this untenable.

Yes, unless you accept the risk of being banned. Every community and every server has its own set of rules.
You can usually safely ignore these rules, but if you get banned you don’t have a leg to stand on if you didn’t bother with reading the rules.
Damn RIP then if I got banned from .world after this post I am leaving Lemmy.
Looks like you were ten minutes ago: https://lemmy.world/modlog/?userId=1957570 Though I guess you’ll never see this message, then.
Just… don’t make an issue of it? Apologize and delete some posts?
TBH lot of the internet has an “over 18” requirement somewhere in the ToS, for good reasons, and… yeah.
I have over 2000 posts. And I never hided the fact that I am a teenager.
Not all them, just the thread in the screenshot. With a little apology or something. See what happens.
This is Lemmy, no one wants to ban a good poster.
Oh no… Don’t… Stop…
Like hell even someone care LOL
Technically yes. Practically nobody does.

So, I am gonna check TOS of every instance wherever I am posting?

I read the rule of community and instance but not TOS.
No. All of your direct interactions are with your instance which federates with others.
