I joined here some time ago and did not post till now. Pottered about (on here) and saw social media humans.
I am amused and bemused by the narrative that this platform is so lovely.
Humans will always human and the ‘social media norms ‘will dissipate on here in due course.
Bets on how long?

So last night I popped out for dinner and wouldn’t you know it I bagged myself a little (NATIONAL) award for the work I do on sharing about cyber and online issues to the public.
More to follow after I have calmed down. I am working today so celebrations will have to be at the weekend.

I highly recommend Tech Smart Parenting. How to Keep Your Kids Happy & Safe Online, by Catherine Knibbs. 💛
It is a warm, down-to-Earth, straight-talking, no-nonsense book on what parents really need to know about the online spaces their children go to.

Great to see @childrenandtech.bsky.social in the news! Play is indeed a child’s language and many people don’t want to see that for lots of children, 95+% of this play happens in online games.

How will we enforce the banning of social media for children? Fines for parents or schools that are caught letting children use them? Will we criminally charge social media platforms, or parents themselves? What happens when a child gets hold of an older sibling's device?
