Very interesting addition. That's going to need a LOT of testing prelaunch if you want parents to have confidence in it.

@dansup @pixelfed Interesting addition!! Great initiative.

I’m wondering why the 10 children limit 😆

I know it’s a pretty high limit by today’s standards, but I’m thinking this feature could have a good use in education, for instance for a classroom project where each kid has a account to post photography or art, and the teacher is in control.

There is also the use case of adding more than one parent to manage the kid’s account. I’m guessing one parent should be able to add another.

@nclm @pixelfed The 10 child limit is configurable, the admin can set it to a default limit, and soon users will be able to request a higher limit on a per user/parent basis!

Question: did you happen to read the recent Rolling Stone profile of Nikki Badolato, a former FBI agent who worked to catch child sex traffickers? It goes into how the online component of that sort of thing goes. It may be relevant to this issue.

@dansup @pixelfed @NGIZero This is a good tool for adult family members with dementia as well. Gives them a sense of community with guardrails.
