adults use this site too! adults need their own spaces. minors need spaces made for them, they don't need to take over the spaces made for adults. social media was made for adults, not minors. discord is not for people under 17 instagram is not for people under 17 tiktok is not for people under 17 it says so in the app store. minors ruined this website wanting to make it "safer for them" instead of respecting "maybe this post wasn't for me as a minor and the internet wasn't made for me as a minor" us adults are very worried for minors today. minors are growing up with a more hostile internet than we did! (as proof of just this website) adults pretend to be minors to catch other adults online, this makes the internet even more unsafe for minors minors need to accept that the internet is adult. it's not a good baby sitter, it won't censor bad words for you. and that is super scary i know, but don't get mad at adults for using the internet as adults don't get mad at your peers who use the internet for themselves instead be responsible for yourself!! because if your parents, or social media platforms won't protect you make spaces for yourself (not take them away) and learn for yourself how to protect yourself, internet basics (like not screaming IM A MINOR!!! ADD ME!! in any online space) adults can only do so much to protect minors online we can't control the platforms youre on, we can't reinforce the age rules they make besides reporting your accounts (and you just make a new one be honest) we can't draw a line between us and you when we need to! all we can do is ignore you guys!! and hope that you won't draw attention to you adults were minors online once too but we were safer than you are now that's why we are all very worried. the internet has never been safe for minors, it never will be, and screaming "IM A MINOR!!" doesn't make it safer! :( the minors who see this will just laugh, and the adults who see this will just ignore you cuz that's all we can do for you don't let this discourage you from building your own websites, your own games, building your own safe friend circles/groups, teaching yourself and your friends about internet safety, etc the internet isnt a safe place for everyone, minors need their own safe spaces online, not to share them with adults emojicombos.com for sure is NOT!! a minor friendly website! it won't censor every bad word or dick or discord username submitted please be safe online. i'm sorry there isn't much we can do for you. sorry for the long ass rant - an adult who wants minors to be safe online https://yesterweb.org/#manifesto https://goblin-heart.net/sadgrl/cyberspace/internet-manifesto
