1. Ever since teens had access to social media, there have been studies on the matter, (i'll admit, that in early years they were pretty scandalous, but now they try to act as more of a guide or recommendation for parents).

Here you got one source (again, of many):

2. The Fediverse is mostly handled by moderators and the community (like Reddit used to be), so when there's an issue regarding ill behaviour, it is usually handled inside that community. (And besides, instances have their own rules too.)
3. It's toxic waste, get the hell out of there. 💀☢️

That's... good actually.

Most parents either care too little or too much about what their children do.

It is better to take some things to a more neutral ground.

When it comes to the big corporate platforms, yes.

When it comes to the Fediverse, no.

Any track in particular? 👀

I gave "Down by the River" a listen and i really liked it! 😁

So much indeed that i included it on a new list:

According to English people 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, everyone and their dog is a...

"tool".

And according to Australians 🇦🇺, everyone is a...

"Cunt."

In the English-speaking world, there is no American continent.

You mean, in USA world.

They could call themselves "States of America"

It's understandable for El Salvador, but México it's absolutely part of North America.

The People from the North 🎅

Also Spanish 🇪🇸

Europe is a country? 😳

But didin't Google already track your age?

I remember that in 2014 Google erased my first Gmail account because i was -15 and that didin't aligned with their new "policies".

I would usually agree with this statement, but the truth is that social media does way more harm than good when it comes to teenagers.

Because i was born in the year 2000 so my perception of teenagers and social media is still recent, also i have a younger sibling, and she has shown me the kind of crap teens are on today.

Screw TikTok man, and also screw "Mr. Beast".

Because a vast majority of teenagers misuse/overuse social media (cyber-bullying, social isolation, phone addiction, and so on...)

Not really, i'm 23.

Ban them, exile them all!

Edit: Ok, i may have been a bit too vague with this comment. So i'll be more specific. ⬇️

Some platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube have been nothing but harmful to youngsters (from all ages), due to their manipulative algorithm and poor content management.

So i do believe there should be a much more stronger restriction in access to those platforms.

Something like, you can register at 16 with your parent's permission, or something like that.

Now i now that sounds very drastic, but consider this:

1- It has been proven time and time again how social media has done more harm than good to teenagers.

2- I'm only talking about about platforms owned by the big corporations, platforms here on the Fediverse are (from my perspective) much more safer (in the sense that you don't really see harmful content if you don't want to).
