Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️so if teens are banned from all social media, what websites are left at this point?
dictionary.com?
like people joke that they miss when the internet wasn't just five websites crossposting shit at each other, but those five websites are all social media of some kind.
If they're banned, what's left?
Like any site I can imagine still being usable is just going to be something with a social element that's been turned off: read-only wikipedia, youtube-kids (no comments, only big creators?), websites for newspapers?

Martin Gleadow@foone government supported sites of truth, obviously
draeh@foone Even in the dial-up BBS days the driving idea was social discourse. Anything that allows user comment/discussion is social.
By extension wouldn't these kinds of bans also include most MMO and other games that allow email/chat with other players?

aschmitz@foone I got in trouble in middle school for setting up a website where students in one of my classes could have their own individual blogs. (Ostensibly that, though I think the inciting incident was that some of us were opening the scary terminal application, SSHing into my server and using `talk` to chat with one another.) Maybe everything old is new again.
Σ(i³) = (Σi)²@foone Best as I can reconstruct I made that around '97 and it's still live: https://sgeier.net/its/text/finished.html

Webster Leone@foone I assume kids moving to IRC and Usenet to talk with each other, just like in the good/bad old days.
Bobby Moss@foone it would be kind of amazing if rebellious teenagers living under social media bans ended up bringing back the indie web. Stranger things have happened!
