First of all, I don't mean this post as a complaint, maybe more of a warning?

There is teenagers on the fediverse. Most of them don't share their age, for hopefully obvious reasons. I'd say that a lot of the accounts which do a lot of posting/commenting are run by teenagers


because most adults probably wouldn't have the time for that much posting.

While the young people of this generation are generally useless when it comes to something more complicated than microsoft word, the people who are good at technology, usually are very good at it.

most of my friends (most of which don't know the difference between a laptop and a desktop) could understand the fediverse as a concept perfectly when I explained it to them irl.

So, if you're in a really stupid argument with someone, try to remember that there is a small chance they are 14.

I was smarter than the rest of you all when I was a teen. It wasn't until I became an adult did I get this stupid.

Some are easy to spot because they don't understand that being apologetic has little to do with apologizing, for example. 😅

Odd post, but checks out

*Are. Not trying to be a jerk if English isn't your first language. Teenagers is a plural noun.

Generalizations and eager bootlicking of generational propaganda isn't helpful at all.

I'm actually surprised that a few lemmy instances allow minors to sign up. I don't get it. It's always a liability and platforms tend to become dystopian in the name of "protecting the children" and to comply with additional laws and requirements...

Honestly I'm now thinking of migrating from lemm.ee now that I learned of it allowing minors, this instance could turn into shit because of it. Example: "we'll defederate from any mature instance because the kids can't see boob"

Minors are going to access the internet no matter what you do, it's on them an their underdeveloped brains on whether or not they can handle it.

If their parents don't care enough, then let them be raised here, amongst the stable minds that think anything to the left of burning kids alive for warmth is tankieism (.world) or anything to the right of luxury gay space communism is fascism (all the sane instances).
