After a certain point, these threads start sounding like,

"I hate my rights. I hate the town square. There is litter in the common square. There is a child outdoors. Take away my pubic square."

I think it sounds more like "why is the town square covered in ads now , who installed actual mantraps in the town square , why is everything we do in the town square used against us , town squares were fine less than two decades ago and we let the rich parasitize them for profit"

    Except you're doing nothing about that besides going "let's keep the town square terrible" and ensuring kids are 100% unprepared for the way the modern world communicates in the 21st century lol

      Exchanging messages with your contacts isn't really that hard that you really need to prepare for it.

        Zealous parents are using this as an opportunity to take phones, computers and means of digital communication away. Hell, by law, you can't even use Discord without verifying your age lol

        Imagine if they banned video games and texting 20 years ago because parents were convinced their kids were addicted to Halo and T9Word. They could always roll hoops in the street and send letters to each other with a little planning, too.

      Which part is "keep the town square terrible"?

      • heavyset_go 7 hours ago

        The part where social media goes completely unchanged except for banning some kids from communicating with their friends
