    Fuck all that shit.

    Try parenting and realizing that at some point a teenager is going to circumvent that parenting.

    Jesus Christ, just more dumbass hate against successful tech giants.

    You think this place with its calls to violence is moderated for kids? I bet you a SIGNIFICANT portion of the fediverse user base is children.

      I’m pretty sure the amount of people under the age of 18 who use the fediverse is very small. Feels like it’s mostly a bunch of 30+ years old communists
