Whoa, what model only requires a monthly charge?

As soon as they require me to use a Google account I'll get rid of mine, too. It's coming soon.

We're lost

Nah I'd just change the channel

Doing meth, or working? That's the US these days.

Eh the kids are alright

Yes, but it's also new territory for us as a species. I'm sure the guidance and monitors will be significantly improved in the next decade, but a decade ago... It was the wild west, baby.

Some kids also get obsessive about phones once they get one, or obsessed with other people's phones until then.

I wonder if there would be enough people locally who want to moderate? That's the biggest issue imo, along with it being taken over by concerns about schools and/or gross gossip.

I believe Topix was completely anonymous and unmoderated, and it was a train wreck. As a citizen of my town I was embarrassed that it existed. I remember specifically that any time a local principal made any changes at her school vile comments and threats would be posted about her. It was a major concern in her life until the whole site was taken down.

How to keep it from becoming disgusting like Topix? Vile things were said on those forums.

Hahaha yes, thanks!

Love your local library. The Lemmy app is a good way to access content.

Also pirating... I live in the southern US, where they keep underfunding my library.
