For now, keep minors off of nostr. You can be held liable for exposing them to really, really nasty stuff that is present, just not as much as in other platforms (yet).
Until you can keep keys in a walled garden, nostr is not, IMO, appropriate for minors, unless their parents approve with VERY informed consent.
I second this. while 99% of what I seen is acceptable for minors, but that 1% is VERY present in a freedom focused protocol.
Beave is definitely hitting the nail on the head.
This is one reason why apps like ZBD that bridged to nostr can be a good thing
Awesome advice, thank you for your input. @ChipTuner ,@Vic , and @npub.xyz as well. What if I ran our own relay and locked them down to it for the time being?
That was exactly what I was going to suggest. However it still sounds like a solution in search of a problem. Can you describe your use-case better maybe?
I cannot, as it is only an amorphous blob in my peripheral vision. A solution in search of a problem seems like a pretty concise way to put it
Ages of children? Asking as how to respond with best tips. I’ve always been a fan of multiple learning approach. Humans learn information in various ways so anything that combines: Reading, auditory & kinetic into one lesson **may** be helpful.
What is the number one thing you’re seeking to teach & improve on?
K-12, so of course the approach would change depending on the group. This program is essentially brand new and I get to build it to serve the community. The mission of the nonprofit is to provide food security to the community, and to promote education. We have a monarch- oriented pollinator garden, I've revamped their composting operation, set up vermicomposting, and built a tilapia pond to get aquaculture rolling.
traumatized by shower girl?
I don't know about that and probably don't want to.
Unless you're referring to tubgirl.... *shudders*
My brief experience roaming around the global feed has proven this to be true. Also, being a social media platform on a "freedom of everything" protocol will certainly attract a lot of creeps.
I agree. Fyi, I would never let my kids use nostr. At least, not for a few more years.
Tell a child they can’t do something & most will rebel against it. Children are young humans. They seek to find their place in the world from all directions.
Historically, look at the last 20 years & tell me most parents are giving informed consent to their children online.
Many ignored red pill on Reddit & look what happened there. Just one example.
Yeah I'm real worried about how to release my own kids to the Internet. The older one is just on YouTube for what amounts minecraft soap operas, pretty strict list of channels he's allowed to watch. He uses my login, cause I don't trust the algorithm to just have him
It’s definitely scary. 😱 Best advice I can offer is if/when they get phones or tablets (possibly for school) … take them at night to your room.
Many parents called me crazy when my spawn were being raised. It’s all about balance. First: ima advocate for homeschooling IF the parents choose it.
Knew a homeschooled kiddo who had a mental breakdown her freshman year of college because she was illiterate online & didn’t understand many things. She’s good now & is a successful photographer now. Thankfully. 😅 It was hard seeing her go through it.
At the same time I’ve seen a lot of kiddos who have used the internet 🛜 for good and bad. How to find the best use is important. Truly.
