I am mostly refusing to use my ID to verify on a platform known for the comfort of anonymity, which I am probably not alone with, however there is also a side of people greatly tolerant about it. However it already is frustrating being excluded from an audience despite being in the age range, purely because I refuse to hand over my identification, thus I would like to request to have the instances marked with the 18+ age verified tags be removed from the public search, to avoid the issue of being excluded from public places. I fully understand that the age verification is a great use for events and drinking environments, but I would keep it specifically for those occupations. Group Publics currently are already a hit or miss, depending on who moderates those instances, not only have I witnessed impulsive behavior from those who moderate them, but also people generally being russophobes, homophobes and general phobia against a certain group of individuals.

tldr,

Remove listings of instance with the 18+ age verified tag from public searches.

Limit the 18+ age verified tag to event groups.

I hope this is a fair compromise still, even if I decide to opt out of the verification, until it has another option to verify.
