Blocking children from online communities is blocking them from seeing external views outside of the bubbles their parents indoctrinate them into, it's blocking them from seeing information to realise if they're in an abusive situation and seeking help, it's marginalising LGBT+ youth if, through no fault of their own, they happen to be born to ultra religious or LGBT+ phobic parents.

100%. I'm not a child but I've learned so much about people through lemmy, getting to be a part of society without sharing any personal information
