Not really sure how that works with federation. You're not "using" lemmy.world, you're using lemm.ee, which has a copy of content from lemmy.world.

So, after using Lemmy for 1.5 Years. You are telling I am not even allowed to use Lemmy?

So. What Am I getting banned?
I think you've pretty much nailed it. KFC can't ban you from buying a Burguer King that McDonalds is secondhand selling.
This particular thread is hosted on lemmy.world and you must be 18+ to access it.
Nah, admins only care about their own instance. So a LW admin would only care about underage LW users.
Admins don't have the time to moderate for other instances. I'm already busy enough with dbzer0, lemm.ee's business is theirs. (as long as they're not posting CSAM or scams)
edit: I should mention that you still have to follow the COCs of instances, but most of them can be boiled down to: Don't be a huge dick, and don't be racist/anything-phobic.
lemm.ee allow 16+ year old users.
Should be fine, then. You're on .ee not .world, they're not going to vet your account for age ;)

Don't be a huge dick, and don't be racist/anything-phobic.
I leaved Reddit because of this. And I choose Lemmy over other Social Media app to ignore this. I can safely say I am not. I don't even joke about it like some edgy teenager thinking saying N-Word is fucking cool or saying Hitler was a good person and everyone should do it too. Or Hating LGBTQ person.
You're a cool poster
I believe the most an admin can do is block you from their own instance (e.g. lemmy.world banning you from lemmy.world communities), they don't own your account on lemm.ee so they can't ban your account from accessing the comms they don't control, and lemm.ee has no reason to ban you.

And despite how simple it is people still find new and interesting ways to be bigoted. It’s impressive really

No one under 18 years of age or under the regulated minimum age defined by your local law (whichever is higher), is allowed to use or access the website.

Curious choice
Dealing with data protection laws surrounding children is a MASSIVE pain. Most Lemmy servers ignore the GDPR safely, but ignoring COPPA is a bit harder. And that doesn't even take into account the recent rise of laws blocking teenagers from social media, with varying ages and consent laws.
"safely" as in are too small for the regulatory bodies to care. Takes one report though.

It's legal boilerplate.
There's probably some law that require it.
Bans are for adults, you gets sent to your room.
After you take out the trash.
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?
Federation makes this untenable.
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.
is somebody really expected check the ToS of the server the community they’re posting in is on,
Technically yes. Practically nobody does.

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.

So, I am gonna check TOS of every instance wherever I am posting?
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.
I read the rule of community and instance but not TOS.

Why is Kit on instance X gatekeeping a user in instance Y from accessing a community on instance Z?
Gives me vibes of old man yelling at kids to stop having fun.
Imagine this, but with email.
This meme could have been an email!
Why would you ever admit your age online?
I'm 92.
If 16 is too young for Lemmy, 92 is unfortunately too old.
I'm sorry, but if you can't use it during the first 17 years of your life, you shouldn't be allowed to use it during the last 17 years either!!!!!!!11 Rules are rules...
Oh, ok. I'll be sure to stop using when I'm 134 years old. Just to rule out the last 17 years.

I'm not 23. Nobody likes you when you're 23.
And you still act like you’re in freshman year

I'm calling the police.
Easy there, Karen.
young padawan, the first lesson you ever learn on the internet is never admit your age until it no longer matters
is this like traveling to another country where the drinking age is lower
No, it's like a 19 year old being on a conference call with Americans having a beer and Americans telling him he can't because in America the law is 21
I seem to be missing some context - anyone want to fill in the rest of the class?
Edit: the image being shown to ~~lemmy users~~ everybody else is not being shown to ~~mbin users~~ ~~me and/or fedia.io users (unclear)~~ some unknown subsection of mbin users including me, so here it is for those like me: https://imgur.com/q4zuZzz
Must be your instance. I can see it fine from kbin.melroy.org, which also uses the mbin software.
Well, now that's just discrimination :(
Weird though!
Edit: it also doesn't show for kbin.earth (which is running mbin) - I'm curious what the source of the problem is for this strange and seemingly-arbitrary minority of users https://kbin.earth/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/1028068/So-after-using-Lemmy-for-1-5-Years-You-are-telling

If an admin put limitations to who can or can't belong and/or interact with their server, it's their responsibility to whitelist and blacklist accordingly.
