  • It’s rlly funny how I got into reading the comic. On webtoon, I got this recommended as a 99% match. I read the first few pages n thought that Emile was a girl. Uk, cuz Emile is kinda femme + Emile sounds like a girl’s name.

    So I was like, “ew no”. N stopped reading it immediately. Webtoon was still constantly recommending this comic for me. So I was like, “fine I’ll go through it a little more”. Then I came to the part where Emile’s gender was revealed. Couldn’t stop reading right after that lol.












  • I don’t understand why the knee jerk reaction for everything is just “ban it”.

    You want to reduce the exposure of children to predators? Moderate the platforms. We can agree that Reddit n Lemmy’s moderation is a lot better than Instagram’s moderation. Why don’t we start with that???

    The biggest way predators do their predatoring is by sliding into ur DMs. You could restrict this by requiring approval for all such new DMs by a parent’s account or something. There r just so many ways that social media can be made safer for kids.

    Social media is a digital townsquare. Sure, there r some malicious actors lurking about. Does that mean that kids should just be banned from this townsquare? No. The townsquare should be made safer for kids. There must be some hand-holding for kids in the beginning so that they can learn how to make the best use of this infrastructure in the future.
