Hello World!

We’ve made some changes today, and we’d like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect. We now have a new Terms of Service, in effect starting from today(October 19, 2023).

The “LAST REVISION DATE:” on the page also signifies when the page was last edited, and it is updated automatically. Details of specific edits may be viewed by following the “Page History” reference at the bottom of the page. All significant edits will also be announced to our users.

The new Terms of Service can be found at https://legal.lemmy.world/

In this post our community mods and users may express their questions, concerns, requests and issues regarding the Terms of Service, and content moderation in Lemmy.World. We hope to discuss and inform constructively and in good faith.

    I want young people being able to express themselves equally and without fear.

      Remember Lemmy does not only have safe content and communities, and this includes our federated network. If you think kids should be able to view some of those, then you are free to disagree. We are happily following obligations.

        An instance doesn’t have to follow, or show, the content from all the instances it’s federated with. If you chose to do so, that’s your choice, there is likely another “kids friendly” Lemmy federation split on the horizon.

      Let’s take a look at what comments look like when you encourage kids to sign up

      Broo 💀💀

      bro woke up and chose violence

      And who could forget this classic

      🔥🔥🔥

      Age limits are entirely self-selected. If you’re dumb enough to out yourself as breaking them, you were probably not contributing to the community in the first place

      I don’t necessarily. I remember when I was young, and hanging around on BBS’es and forums all the time. I was a little shit.

        I remember when I was young and the Internet was the only place I felt like I wasn’t constantly being talked down to. It was the only emotionally safe space I had.

        Said of essentially everywhere.

        And then old people wonder why young people are so anxious and depressed these days…

          I don’t wonder. I know. It’s because they’re on the internet instead of going.the.fuck.outside.
          There is zero wrong with putting age limits in place.
