4chan and the Vaush subreddit are cesspits with no age requirement

I don’t know about the voosh subreddit but 4chan has a +18 age requirement and outing yourself as a minor will get you banned. This post’s inspiration was partly on realizing that this site doesn’t have a measure that a place as godforsaken as 4chan does get right.

I would argue that the elimination of third spaces, and the inability to go anywhere unless you have a car is the entire reason behind why GenZ focused on the internet so much, there’s quite literally little else to do.

This is almost if not exclusively an American problem. It could serve as an excuse for the US, but my org is constantly promoting healthy forms of leisure for the youth because we have plenty of activities to do around yet we still have kids on their PCs who don’t leave their rooms unless necessary. There has to be more than that to it.

Actually I don’t think I have ever met or heard about you before. Hi!

The problem is not if a 14yo can or not behave, I bet most can. The problem is what they risk being exposed to here, which between the frequent trolls who come here simply because we are MLs and the fact that most of us are adults (or close to being one) and behave as such with each other, this may not be the best place for them to be around.

Fair point. Read the edit for another one.

It is as unenforceable here as it is anywhere else, yet almost all websites still do it for a reason. Leaving aside the efficiency of the measure in itself, as it has been said before, it can help us prevent getting ourselves in any potential legal trouble (which is probably why other sites do it in the first place).

Because I definitely haven’t seen any of the last one, any ultras who tried would get clowned on fast. Can’t recall having seen much of the first and I think we had one episode around the psychiatry thing a while but I think that was resolved reasonably eventually.

Themes of anti-psychiatry have resurfaced once or twice after Amicese’s ban. I have had some maoist revive a dead thread of mine to tell me about how the Shining Path was cool actually and never boiled any babies. The first one doesn’t exist afaik, which is a source of shame for us as a left wing space with meme communities. Overall this post contains some things written humorously so don’t take it all literally, but the main point still stands.

That said there is zero way to enforce this. Kids lie about their age online all the time.

Of course. I do not expect it to put a stop on all people who are too young to be here from being here, but nonetheless it would help at getting rid of some if not most.

As to admins determining, unless someone is really acting like a pre-teen I don’t see any way for admins to know whether someone’s just being immature

This measure is mostly aimed at those “unless” people.

Admins already have power to act to remove those from lemmygrad who are disruptive

I do not think we should let kids who are 14 be around here regardless of if they are or not disruptive, which would be a hole in your proposal.

Final in Pristina, the winner takes it all (literally).

On the other hand… No more Finland. Think about it.

SKYLERRR WHERE IS THE OZONE LAYER

I will only talk politics with someone if, at the very least, they are able to bench their own bodyweight. It filters out almost all alt-righters, millennial biden-bros, socdems, IDF agents and linux users.

Small chest energy

Buddy you get “ecstatic” over “compiling android apps”. What even is your 1RM bench?

For example, in my university (which pretends to be very progressive and conscious), you can get all sorts of unhealthy snacks and highly sugary/caffeinated drinks throughout the campus. It’s very convenient and much easier than getting water (for which you have to bring your own cups or bottles) and healthy food (which is expensive, only served at particular times and limited in portion so it doesn’t make you feel full).

Calorie counting, mate. Since I began doing that I have achieved the ability to cut 2 kg of weight per month at will, even when spending most of my life at a campus like the one you describe.

OoOoOoOh, tribalism, so scary. Yes, most of you idiots from the “most active general purpose lemmy server” come here either to “dunk on le tankies” with shitty reddit-tier catchphrases or to discuss on why not voting for Biden is literally genocide. A @lemm.ee handle here is 99% of times a sign that whatever someone has to say here is absolute dogshit.

Give me your lunch money.

Now that you ask…

That sounds like a joke Graeme Barrett would make

I am referring specifically to web culture, not the actual technology of the internet.

LOL Absolutely not. I saw those years and people used to bait each other into checking out gore, scat and whatever other content you could make a shock site with.

You have zero experience at protesting, do you?
