I have two young children. My wife and I have been reading, “The Anxious Generation “. The book makes a compelling case that kids under 16 are actively being harmed by using smartphones and social media.
I think Nostr makes this better since there is not a company farming engagement, but the core of the problem comes from kids being on their devices more than interacting with other kids in real life.
I wonder if trying to setup safe places for kids on the internet is missing the point. We should be keeping them in the real world for as long as possible, especially while their brains are still developing.
