Hello all,

Just wanted to have a chat regarding Ganders' requirement for age. Has the process made you decide against joining?

Personally, can't say I was very happy about providing my ID and face to get verified. It's also something that is a hard sell imo to get others to join.

Do you think it is a necessary evil, in order to make sure that the social media is used only by adults?

Any thoughts on the matter?

Have you seen the process for joining? Quite intrusive imo. Like I said in my post, I have a hard time seeing how you could sell the idea to someone that they have to join a new social media platform and on top of that, they have to provide id.

Agree with you that it’s a feature but my point is that feature might turn someone away when they see the requirement.

I haven't seen the process for joining, but Gander doesn't appeal to me in any way shape or form.

It's a product that I don't want, with features that seem like huge negatives, that promotes itself in a way that it feels like an astroturf investment circle-jerk.
