4·1 day ago@Aurora: I think most Pixelfed instances/apps have a way to block NSFW content. You’ll have to make sure your sister has NSFW content blocking on (and keeps it on) and you’ll want to check in with her every now and then about her experience there. I think marking images as NSFW is optional for the person posting the content, so not every single NSFW image will necessarily be blocked. It’s hard to give someone a completely clean social media experience.
One other thing you can try: look for instances that are focused on a topic your sister enjoys that is not likely to have NSFW content in it, like ppl who are interested in trains or playing a musical instrument. There are some here: https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/ (but you should check the server before she joins)
to all the commenters saying the fediverse is not a good place: these kids are going to be on social media, one way or another. It could be tiktok, bluesky, snapchat, or whatever else they can get onto. Some (but not all) parts of the fediverse should be accessible to them. Ofc that means someone has to do the hard work of hosting those instances, which is not easy. Just saying “this isn’t for you” isn’t doing teens or the fediverse or parents any favors.
Anecdotally, from teachers I know, they use chatgpt.
But libraries are not just print books! They have digital collections and online materials too.
What’s quicker: searching bad info sources online or searching better info sources at the library?
Also OP didn’t say it had to be quick
your local library is also a great option
- Send them links to posts they would like
- Goto 1
They will try to fill instances with bots, propaganda accounts, etc. They’ll DDOS them. They’ll try to get them shut down at the hosting level or cut off their donations by having credit card companies blacklist them
Very cool! For the user scores, are you using monthly active users, total registered users, or something else?
Thanks for this list! There are some fun suggestions here that’ll help me get into peertube, but Russel Brand is a conspiracy theorist and far-right pundit, recently charged with rape & sexual assault. Suggesting you delete him from this list.

That is not true. The terms of service cover “your access and use of Server Operator’s (“Administrator”, “we”, or “us”) instance”. Access includes reading data from the server.
