most people don't know about pixelfed parental controls feature, but here is a parent complaining that we're not exposing their kids to more types of content.

@dansup As someone who was recently one of the "kids these days": not being able to see your parents' text posts would be a pretty decent selling point for a social media app

@dansup Why shouldn't kids be on Pixelfed?

@dansup It's the parent's responsibility to not let kids use social media. If a parent wants their kid to use social media, then no one has the right to interfere. It's about freedom. Nonetheless, If a kid is educated enough to use social media, then let that be. Hell, they even taught us in elementary school how social media works, and it was a powerful tool for me as a kid. Kids aren't as dumb as adults want them to be.
