I went to mapsupport.de because it seems likely to be around for a while, but that’s mainly because its rules are fairly restrictive. It’s not like nnia, but it still may not be to your liking. There’s also Little Lounge; it doesn’t even have a domain name to lose, so it should be pretty secure. I don’t know if all the federation issues have been worked out, though.

You mentioned feeling guilty before, so I’m guessing you’re still struggling with self-acceptance? I think working on that is the most important thing. Self-control is easier when you’re comfortable with who you are and what you do. Trying to suppress or avoid thoughts and feelings just makes them more insistent.

But in the short term, maybe it’d be helpful to think of it like this. You wouldn’t do anything inappropriate when there are adults watching, right? Ten, twenty years on, those kids will remember. Even if there aren’t adults around in the present, they’re always watching from the future.

Yeah, I think the best thing to do about upsetting thoughts is learn to just move on. Don’t even tell yourself to stop thinking about it. Just drop it.

That’s not an easy thing to do at first, but if you know to do it, you can work on it. It might help to have a topic ready to go so you don’t have to come up with something else to think about on the spot, and maybe change it up sometimes so you don’t start to associate the two things. And it’s something you can actively practice; deliberately think about something unpleasant for just a moment and quickly move on to something else. It’s much easier when you’re prepared for it.

That’s just my experience, of course. No guarantee it works for everyone.

I think that would be a broader term, maybe a superset, maturity being a spectrum and adulthood a binary thing. There are lots of things that teenagers are seen as being too old for, but also, 17-year-olds are often infantilized in ways that 18-year-olds aren’t.

Intact children only!

Can’t really argue with someone whose only goal is to justify their bigotry, I guess.

Wonder if I could get away with buying one for my nephews…

I’m getting errors, too, even with files that have worked before. Something must have broken on the back end.

People thinking we’re not even real is weird. Maybe they assume we stick to .onion sites. I’ve never seen that in the Mastodon/Pleroma realm; people there just think we’re all grooming kids and trading CP.

Well, I thought I had more than this, but it’s something.

One from the adult’s side.

I would hope it’s okay. Might need extra mod attention in case people are jerks about it.

I’ve got a few bookmarked on Freak U, but it’s down at the moment. I’ll get them when it’s back up. But for now, here’s a book of them: https://www.uryourstory.org/index.php/social-criticism/188-positive-memories

If you mean a stadium or a theater or some such, no, absolutely not. If it’s a party, those can be all right, but I don’t know if “fun” is the word for it. I don’t feel like I belong there, but it’s not unpleasant.

That would basically be just a different frontend, right? No need for separate accounts and no potential for duplicate communities? Lemmy’s fine with me, but as long as it doesn’t cause confusion, I guess another option wouldn’t hurt.

There are lots of blogs where people post pictures of their kids in the tub. Of course, once in a while, there are people making sexual comments on them. Usually those are years after the blogs have been abandoned, but I’ve seen a few parents horrified that anyone could think such things. And I have to wonder, what do you expect? Isn’t that exactly why you don’t post pictures of yourself taking a bath? How can people be so oblivious?

I to II. Higher’s still okay, but I like 'em flat and smooth.

Truly, the possibilities are endless.

The handbook also keys newbie pedophiles in on helpful hints such as using the shorthand acronym CP, instead of actually typing “child pornography.”

CP? That could be anything! I’m sure these people are just trading cute puppies and communist propaganda.

I want a girl who’s smart and curious and interested in learning new things. And likes hugging. And if she’s into Legos, that’s a plus.
