Just realized that if I run my own instance, Ada can safely take part before she's 13. No need to worry about COPPA since I am the parent.
@tfj We have been puzzling out how to handle her online presence with all the rules on the sites we currently use. Controlling our own servers seems to be the best approach.
@tfj Ideally maybe there could be some form of moderated account. She posts, we click to approve it for public release. IDK. Something to think about for the future before we sign her up.
@tfj Such moderation features could also be useful for other children, such as those in certain political offices. :see_no_evil: :hear_no_evil: :speak_no_evil:
@Savagejen I think this is a really cool idea. As long as you remember she's bound to slip through the cracks sometime. :P
It's scary, but you can't police your children 24/7, especially in regards to the Internet.
@Savagejen thats both inventive and horrifying at the same time. Though it does remind me of my "You can have a computer without X windows at any age" thought.
@Savagejen this is very cool and something I (non-parent) hadn't thought of yet!
@Savagejen that's pretty chill
@Savagejen Wow this is an amazing idea! COPPA could even be managed for a small local group like a classroom pretty easily.
@Savagejen Great idea and application of the Fediverse! Would love to see how that works out in practice.
