Oh, I loaded up the page previously before your edit. Regarding the edit, not only will it prevent kids accessing community, but it may also drive them into darker, more unregulated parts of the Web. Similar to how porn bans (whether outright bans or stricter age-gating) only really affect Pornhub—probably the most well-regulated and "safe" porn site out there. Block that, and you'll get people going to sketchy Russian sites where they might encounter much, much more terrible stuff.

    Nods. The ban is only going to protect kids that have parents who want them protected/have the technical expertise to do it.

    Meanwhile all the fee range kids out there…which, let’s be honest, is most of them…are just going to find a bunch seedy apps and workarounds…and guess who else is going to be lurking in these spaces.

    ETA I’m really bad at hot taking, editing, and not saying I edited.

    It's weird. Usually edited comments display a little asterisk telling you they're edited. I wonder if somehow the interaction between Piefed and Lemmy means that doesn't happen.

    edit: just testing editing

    edit again: oh no, it seems like Lemmy might have removed that feature??

    edit the third: ah, this is intentional

    Don’t show edit mark if comment was edited in less than 5 minutes

    Kind like Reddit, though I think it was 3 minutes over there.

    An old forum I used to frequent had the feature that let you edit a comment up until the point someone replied to it, at which point it was locked. That worked pretty well.

    That's pretty interesting. Personally I prefer being able to edit at any time, door example if that reply is pointing out an error, you can then fix the error. Keeping a visible change log of edits is also great, to provide transparency. A forum I still frequent has that.
