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.

Surprise, surprise. Some chunk of Reddit annoyances stem from kids running around amok.

Then moderators make many stupid rules to try to increase quality and overmoderation takes hold

In short time it becomes increasingly annoying to browse let alone post to get past the anti teen rules filter. Not to mention all the young hormones commenting some stuff at you like it is school break slander or smh

One can always change instance though so it isn’t doom and gloom. The kids will have Lemmy.world and nice, enjoy it and have fun. It is the club penguin of Lemmy instances. We knew this would happen

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"

They won't, lemm.ee has a policy on federation, and they wouldn't let kids get in the way of it.

Lemm.ee allows minors out of the same school of thought why it allows federation with nearly all instances there are, including NSFW: liberalism (as in: freedom)
