I'm just happy there aren't any, or at least many, teens and kids here. Reading the comments on Reddit, YouTube and anywhere else where they are is a fucking fever dream of stupidity, ignorance and weirdness. It's mostly fine here, and it's a nice break.
Do me a favor and look up the word "ageism".
I take it you haven't interacted with many young people since the pandemic
Idunno if it counts as ageism when they're talking about stupid behavior among people with minds that are factually, biologically, not finished developing. Same reason it isn't ageist to say "ten year olds are not allowed to drive cars because they aren't smart enough to do it responsibly"
Never said it was ageism but I am sure it is at least close to it and a good reason to look it up.
I agree with the part here being a nice culture compared to other "social" medias. However repatriating general stupid behavior just on kids is definitely ageism - not sure if that was OPs intention.
Don't quite agree with your comparison: What you mention is more of skill learning process. Social media is more of a proper behavior to have - I think here the age doesn't matter nearly as much as your surrounding.
