      I want young people being able to express themselves equally and without fear.

        Remember Lemmy does not only have safe content and communities, and this includes our federated network. If you think kids should be able to view some of those, then you are free to disagree. We are happily following obligations.

          An instance doesn’t have to follow, or show, the content from all the instances it’s federated with. If you chose to do so, that’s your choice, there is likely another “kids friendly” Lemmy federation split on the horizon.

        Let’s take a look at what comments look like when you encourage kids to sign up

        Broo 💀💀

        bro woke up and chose violence

        And who could forget this classic

        🔥🔥🔥

        Age limits are entirely self-selected. If you’re dumb enough to out yourself as breaking them, you were probably not contributing to the community in the first place

          I remember when I was young and the Internet was the only place I felt like I wasn’t constantly being talked down to. It was the only emotionally safe space I had.

          Said of essentially everywhere.

          And then old people wonder why young people are so anxious and depressed these days…

            I don’t wonder. I know. It’s because they’re on the internet instead of going.the.fuck.outside.
            There is zero wrong with putting age limits in place.
