MODERATORS
Put aside the internet for a moment.
Kids and teenagers used to have more real spaces to go hang out at. Community centers, shopping malls, arcades, etc.
Not so much these days. And it’s sad.
Parents don't want to drive kids everywhere, and cities have become more and more horrible for anyone outside of a car to travel around in.
As a parent, I'd be perfectly willing to drive my kids places. But where? Even if I took them to the mall, they'd be labeled "loiterers" and arrested, and if I drove them to the library someone would decide they're too young to be in public alone and arrest me for neglect.
And everything costs money
Support your local public library
A lot more than it was back then too. It's probably not viable anymore for some people.
This right here.
If shit's expensive as adults imagine as a child.
Yeah, almost every town when I was growing up had a youth center. They were awesome. I also remember a lot of library programs for kids. I don’t see those so much anymore. And yeah, like every weekend there was some kind of community event geared toward kids. Also roller rinks and laser tag. They were a bit dated by my time but were still affordable and going strong.
came here to post something similar to this: Spaces for kids are community centers, parks, libraries, art studios, gaming centers, etc..
The internet was always for work, and malicious adversarial models of engagement. Folks forgot that when they expressed more interests than that in it.
And I say that as an anarchist who loves entertainment in the internet. I do not expect friendships, but adversaries.
There were plenty of old collaborative and encouraging spaces even from the very early days. The message boards and forums were full of helpful and supportive people wanting to relax and just talk about their interests.
