Comment on Is there any Fediverse project aimed at creating a safe space for kids to interact within?

Enabling private communications and making true knowledge available through technology are not the same things as just letting kids post things to the public internet via systems literally invented and designed to be addictive and profit off social harm

Nobody can solve homophobia overnight but people can make safe communities for queer kids on the internet. And that’s a good thing. We need to look after the next generation. We need to show up for them if their parents won’t.
The AIDS crisis caused a generation of queer people to grow up without their community elders. We’re still feeling the ramifications of that in the community. I don’t want a repeat of that. The kids need online role models.
