TLDR I got banned on .world because their TOS every user should be 18. Even though I am on lemm.ee which allow 16+.

Simple: you get banned from the specific instance where you’re violating the rule, like OP did.
It sucks, but this is literally how it’s supposed to work. They can participate everywhere except where they are violating the rules.
Realistically, all instances should probably be restricting access to 18+ so they don’t need to navigate the mess of US’s COPPA (I think that’s the name) laws regarding retention of minors’ data. I’m sure other jurisdictions have laws around that as wellm
And a free tip from someone a decade and a half past the 18 line: Don’t let people know how old you are online if you’re underaged. It’s just asking for trouble. We all lied about it when we were in your shoes. The ones who didn’t had to deal with creeps.
Agreed, sometimes lying is morally ok. Even after 18, there is no need for stating your age.
(Just to clarify, the OP there was pointing out that sag got banned, not himself)
