I'll cop to not having read the article and I'll say I might, but I can think of some pretty good ones. It's so children and teenagers can tell people when something bad is happening to them. Like being in a child marriage. Or being abused. Or being shot at in school. Or when their community is being preyed upon. Or when they're in a cult. Or when they're kidnapped and they have a phone. Or when they need to advocate for themselves against policy that chiefly affects them. Or when they're afraid something is happening to their friends. Or when they're suicidal. Or when they're lost. I could probably come up with a hundred of these. The thing is that children and teens are half-finished people and we afford people certain rights. So we need to decide if we'd rather treat kids as human or as another group of pawns to control. I loathe this debate.

Isn't this central feature of how the fediverse works great?

I could use some optimism so may I ask why?

The AfD came second in the election, the best performance by a far-right party since World War Two.

I'm sure its fine.

The amount of dogshit takes from 2 week old to 3 month old accounts is absurd, Lemmy instances should institute a one month lurking period or something. Some fuckass actually posted Asmongold to a gaming group. Its a tidal wave.

Uh oh, looks like sacrificing that trans character and replacing her with entertainments first out and proud Christian didn't have the effect they were going for.

I give you: every lynching ever under Jim Crow in the American South.
