general

yeah

A child should not be on discord at age 11

sure they should

appak

what I consider common sense internet protocol, and always have, is like the exact opposite of what modern society thinks

I've always just resented the parents that keep their kids on short leashes

moreso now

she's not on a short lease

a lot of people for some reason hate anonymity now

its not like we monitor her

she could get discord and not tell us

I just said lmao no

the one time it came up

ok so.... if she's at all savy

she'll just get it anyway

which she is not

but yeah

I guess that's fine

if she's a retard, she shouldn't be on Discord

tbh

that's a good litmus test

exactly

if she blindly obeys what adults tell her

keep her the fuck away from Discord pedos

I think she just doesn't really care, like I said, she uses google hangouts to talk to her friends

she's in the boomer 11 year old friend group

I guess

Children shouldn’t be allowed on the internet until 13

that'd be hard

considering both my siblings have been doing school from home since covid started

Well

At least not on any form of social media or whatever

If Karp can get groomed a child can be

I think you learn more by having internet access than not

And spooky your input on this is useless

I had a computer since I was 4?

sure, I just don't want to deal with them getting viruses on their pcs by being retards

I think

If you could somehow

it was pre-pre-school

Guaranteed safe

Sure

safe from what?

porn?

Pedophiles maybe

Idk!

that's why you should teach them good internet skilols

Real toughy i know

like Pika was saying

Kids are retarded

"don't post personal shit, don't do dumb things, etc.

idk

I feel like you can teach them

You shouldn’t trust kids

To do anything

I think its an uphill battle now spooky

when you are teaching them something literally no one else follows

except us internet boomers

there's a line though

Kids will post their fucking home address everywhere if they think they can win a giveaway or something

They are not to be trusted

I constantly try to push them towards better tech literacy than most people nowadays have

thats the best I can do

They do not have the mental capacity to be skeptical enough

For internet existence

my brother is skeptical enough in that he will come ask me before he does literally anything

including hitting ok to updating windows

Most kids aren’t like that

I also feel like, kids don't have that much to do on the internet anyway

outside of their social circles

except post porn of themselves!

talking to their friends on Twitter/Discord/wherever

is barely "on" the internet

I feel like a good parent should monitor their kids online activity

you know what is the biggest dick move, I can't friend my brother on steam because I refuse to change my profile background

no compromise

If they’re younger

he can be my steam friend when he turns 16!

Sure I got on the internet when I was young and so did all of us
