@arielmt unfortunately they still haven't started working for me :(
it seems like image-containing posts aren't being pulled through here at all now, e.g @gifsbot.botsin.space doesn't show posts more recent than 5 days here, but on its own instance it's still posting hourly
@shoofle Yeah ofc like so many "trends" it's defined by the people who are mad about it so who knows really how much it reflects reality
@shoofle Like people complain a lot about "puriteens" but these attitudes arent formed in a vacuum right? I think a lot of it comes from a generation raised online experiencing the ppl only a few years older than them, who previously they wouldve learned from, instead pulling up the barriers and insisting all this stuff is bad for your undeveloped young brain
@shoofle Yeah I've been thinking about this too tbh. It's such a widely accepted idea even in progressive communities these days that young ppl online must be locked in baby jail until they turn 18 and then they get turned loose in the unencumbered sexodrome. and thats not a recipe for healthy development for anyone!
You end up with teens either faking their age and entering risky situations or internalising "it is wrong for me to be having these feelings at my age and I need to suppress them"
