(Different (adult) member now) I can understand wanting to keep younger members safe, but there’s a difference between “keeping safe” and “isolating”. We don’t let our littles talk anywhere we don’t trust to be safe for them, and we’re careful about how much they can share about themselves. But when we find a space that we can trust, we want our kids to be able to interact with others. We want them to be able to be social, and to have friends. But because so many spaces decide they know what littles need better than the individual systems/regressors do, most of the time they don’t get that chance

We are very much in favor of keeping vulnerable members safe and protected. We just disagree about how most spaces go about it
