Allow me to complain a little. The idea of thirteen year olds making accounts here and acting unwise immediately upon pulling up makes me giggle.
I remember being 12 years old on the internet and back then you did everything in your power to not let anyone know that you were under the age of 16.
So now, seeing kids not only proudly proclaim their age (which is, by the way, incredibly unsafe) but also pulling up on a website that's meant to be an homage to the early 2000's with things like...a "dni list". Like I'm laughing. I'm sitting here clutching my stomach wiping tears rolling on the floor.
I never saw a "dni list" prior to 2020. And also, whats the point on a website like this? "I you're xyz I won't accept the friend request" also know as, not accepting friend fequests from people you don't vibe with. Is this not a common occurance and does it really require a dni list?
Also, kids, do not put your age all over your page if you're under 17. Have we gone insane?
Idk, maybe I'm too old, but also, I'm not even old enough to have had a myspace account. So maybe I'm not too old at all and you're crazy.

MySpace was already a graveyard when 13 year olds were born

As a teenager, I genuinely feel like the only reason as to why I put my age on my spacehey profile is because I want people to know that I'm my age and that I might have a different sense of humor than theirs, so that if I say something that might be deemed as offensive they might try to see where I'm coming from as someone my age. I genuinely am scared of putting off my age online because, yes, there are creeps out there. Yes, there are weird people, the dangers that are on the internet are almost infinite, but the thing that really annoys me is that adults think that children are idiots at using the internet and that may be true for some but not for others. Instead of assuming that every single teen is stupid and easy to manipulate, just think of them as someone you haven't gotten to know yet and not some dumbass. I'm getting so annoyed with adults classifying every single gen alpha or really late gen z as dumb or stupid because of the things that they see them do on the internet. I get where you all are coming from, and I see what you mean when you say or think that these kids are stupid because I see it every day, but that doesn't mean that you have to consider every single kid as stupid, you know what I mean?
I also would like to address what you mean by DNI lists being annoying to you because the way you wrote this seems like you're genuinely annoyed about it when I know for a fact that kids use DNI lists to set boundaries between who they want to be friends with whether it's because of their personal values or they don't want to be harmed.
Then you talk about the fact that teenagers are coming onto a website that is meant to be an homage to early 2000s social media sites bringing things like DNI. I'm genuinely confused as to why you're saying this because GOD FORBID TEENAGERS WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT WAS LIKE BACK THEN ON OLD SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND BRING DNI LISTS like what??
totally agree

then its not like the past anymore. if you want to experience it like it was in the 2000s, dont bring dni lists into it, now its just twitter-ified lol

I agree but there's nothing wrong with putting your age if you're younger than 17 imo. I accept all follow requests but if someones a minor I know not to dm them. I have friends aged 16 irl at school but I dont want to actively search for new friends who are minors especially not online

I think this goes for just generally any platform that allows a little too much freedom for those under the age of 15. (imo? maybe older!)
Don’t get me wrong, I think Spacehey is a decent platform at the moment from what I saw; a nice place to meet people that maybe have similar interests or such and connect with others publicly and rant. However, this is a platform that just recently surfaced into the public’s eyes and it’s kinda just unsupervised if you really think of it
And I say this as if I didn’t just turn 18
I don’t know how this whole thing goes but im pretty sure there should at least be a slight age limit
For a RESPONSIBLE age, not just open willingly.
However, that’s my opinion.

DNI lists are so stupid it doesnt even do anything except allowing people to know exactly what to lie about ><

Why are dni lists even a thing lol. You don't have to state what you don't vibe with. That's just going to invite trolls TT

I have my dni stuff but in my straw page, not here lmfao.

Really good take. DNI Lists are stupid and do nothing. I go out of my way to tell people not to make them. It clutters up the recent blogs page. How hard is it to put this information directly on the profile where people will actually see it.
Plus most of the people that make DNI Lists don't post much else and then slink off back to whatever site they came from.
Lastly, you can predict with 100% accuracy what is on the DNI List.
"No -ists, no phobes, no mean people and NO NAZIS."
What a worthless thing to write.

i agree with some things on here for the most of it. imo they should have their age somewhere so actually decent adults can avoid them. second issue, creeps, they are everywhere especially on the internet hence spacehey being pg13 i know kids can easily lie about their age but it also depends on maturity. kids reading this if someone seems sketchy block them and tell a trusted adult
sorry, kids should have their age visible on the internet so decent adults can avoid them? as in, kids should put themselves in danger for the sake of adults who dont want to talk to them?

i did mention creeps too. i dont think kids should be on the internet full stop, its sad this discussion has to even exist.

I don't see why a dni list is a problem.
put a sign on your back that says "pls dont kick me i hate when people kick me" and see what happens

Hey, if they're 12 then they can have a dni list should they want it. Over as well. Throwback doesn't mean everything. They don't want people trying 2 get photos of them or arguing.
𝒞𝓁ℯℴ
Yup. This happens. They'd say its boundaries but we all know the truth... They all fled Twitter. That's what's up.
What irks me is my fellow twenty somethings participating in such madness. The "before you follow" and "do not interact" and "did not fucked with" nonsense.
I guess Musk has trained gen alpha exceptionally well.
I personally would interact with anybody, including children, because I know how to talk to kids. Apparently that's sus too???
Growing up, I had friends of all ages, most of which were far from the age group. Did it cause conflicts? Yes, but that's human relationships for ya, hunny.
I don't friend request the dni enthusiasts simply because I'm turned off by twitter / tiktok refugees carrying their trauma all the way here.
Like, what's the big idea?????????
Can you not speak without flirting with the other person
the twenty something people here feeding the kids' delusions are INSANE LOL

They are just trying to prove they aren't predators or child molesters. Because on modern internet, kids don't follow adults, we follow them. Parents don't protect kids, we do.
You can get banned on being mass reported even if you haven't done jackshit to anybody.
Oh and, you better not have unpopular takes. How dare you! If algorithm says 19yo boy going out with 17yo girl is creepy, you best leave hateful comments or you're a "part of the problem" xD

fck them kids, honestly

I think adults who play along with such mad protocols are more at fault. Kids don't know any better. They are impressionable and modern internet exposes them to worst takes ever.
Fuvk them parents, actually.

Also, fyi, my DM inbox is broken, I swear I'm not ignoring your texts or anything. If you didn't send any messages, ignore this.

of course the parents should teach them better, but there are some kids online who are actually insufferable ://
by elisa ♱; ; Report
Don't get me started on soft parenting and gen z parents.
I don't support children getting hit, violence is never the answer, but sometimes these gen z parents are overly lenient and kids totally walk all over them. Of course, they get a reality check once they're old enough
If you want an example, just go through a manhwa under "toxic yaoi" category and you'd see kids getting uncomfortable with smut that was 100% not written for them but the authors suffer

i completely agree. putting your age out there as a young person can be so dangerous as someone that has been groomed at a young age online. i remember the fear when i was 12 on the internet (specifically discord... :/) of being called a "12vie", so ofc i had to fake my age LOL. but yep, the honesty of these young people opening up to the fact that they are 13 can bring in so many creeps its just so unsafe. if youre young and someone asks you for your age ALWAYS SAY "sorry i dont want to tell you my age" PLEASE i know it wont stop everything, but age is a personal thing which if you reveal it it can lead you to bullying or being groomed online. tho i do think the dni list stuff is a good thing to set boundaries, but yeah completely get what youre saying. stay safe peoples!!!
Unpopular take : older people should not have to put their age out either. Coz let's face it, its none of your business and this place, last I checked, is not NSFW related.
I don't understand why age is such a big deal on social media nowadays. And why people cannot communicate beyond flirting and perverted humour.
I'm really sorry that happened to you.
But yeah, the "age in bio" thing solves jack fruit NOTHING
by 𝒞𝓁ℯℴ; ; Report
no true, i completely get what youre saying. its not really anyones business what age anyone is and yeah exactly, there doesnt seem to be any nsfw stuff here or anything that isnt for kids (i mean as far as im aware), but then again having it in a profile is also a good indicator if you dont want to be talking to anyone over or under a certain age. i can see both sides and tbh i just add mine in my profile just so people are aware lol. but yeah i completely get what you mean and i think, as someone who likes to share highlights of my life in my blogs on here, on the internet as a whole we should share a lot less of our information to random internet people

oh and also thank you its all good just taught me to be a lot more safe when talking to weirdos online <3333
