Fediverse for teens (lemm.ee)

I have three teenage daughters who are currently not allowed on social media. But I want to give them some ability before they become adults. My eldest gave me a PowerPoint presentation on why she should be allowed on Snapchat, lol.

She made some good points. Her friend group has a group text and she wants to keep up with everyone but doesn’t want to get the ding notifications constantly.

Feels like a good opportunity for a Fediverse platform. Like a closed Mastodon/Pixelfed server and have some parental controls. Any projects out there?

"I want to protect my kid from dangers of social media so I will make him the special one in class that will potentially make them a target for bullying and harassment"

Just let the kis grow up normally like rest of us did. I feel like many of us, just like me, grew up with far more extreme/unmoderated sites like liveleak and 4chan. Heavily moderated social media is very mild to what some of us grew up with, and I'm no serial killer by any means, I only kill on tuesdays

Also, preventing your kid from doing/exploring things young statistically makes them more suspecible to getting addicted to said things later in life
