I have three teenage daughters who are currently not allowed on social media. But I want to give them some ability before they become adults. My eldest gave me a PowerPoint presentation on why she should be allowed on Snapchat, lol.

She made some good points. Her friend group has a group text and she wants to keep up with everyone but doesn’t want to get the ding notifications constantly.

Feels like a good opportunity for a Fediverse platform. Like a closed Mastodon/Pixelfed server and have some parental controls. Any projects out there?

So... with whom...

With her friends, presumably. Why would she want strangers or mere acquaintances on her group chat?

But Mastodon isn't Matrix. It's not just a chat server, but regular social media.

True, using a defederated mastodon server as a group chat is “off label”, but i think it could work. I am not a fediverse expert, though.

Why would her friends want to join her dad’s creepy nerd thing?

She would be alone on there.

Lol. Like corporate social media isn’t creepy.
