Decentralized social network Mastodon says it can’t comply with Mississippi’s age verification law — the same law that saw rival Bluesky pull out of the state — because it doesn’t have the means to do so.

The social non-profit explains that Mastodon doesn’t track its users, which makes it difficult to enforce such legislation. Nor does it want to use IP address-based blocks, as those would unfairly impact people who were traveling, it says.

    I was fruitful and multiplied, its hard to organize a large migration of people, some of whom want to stay.

    I will travel, but am rather tied to this area, even if I do not see it changing for the better in my lifetime
