I've got a question about the Fediverse and our 13 year-old son 🤔
After watching 'The Social Dilemma' with him today, we had a chat about Instagram, Twitter, etc.
He asked what I use and I told him more about Mastodon and federated servers (he knows some of this due to me PM'ing @moodlenet)
My question is whether, based in the UK, there are any instances he can join? Mastodon.social, for instance, says users have to be 16 years old because of GDPR...
@dajbelshaw @moodlenet Setting up your own instance can be not only a way for him to join mastodon but it can also ensure that you can protect his data and it isn't being misused or sold by another company. You can do this for cheap on any old laptop, a raspberry pi, or a couple dollars monthly VPS. Hope this helped, good luck, and have an amazing rest of your day!
