Why the fuck are kids on Meta services?
Instagram is still decently big among GenZ for still-photo content.
We mostly use it for stories, memes (including reels) and DMs

And already part of the fediverse? Great!
Yup.
I post a bit too much on my plasmatrap account lol (@graphite@plasmatrap.com)
Gen z are mostly not children anymore. It's Gen Alpha
No, Gen z covers people as young as 11 or 12, which is a good guess for "kids on Instagram"
Because Meta/Tiktok/others don't effectively block them from their services, despite the illegality and knowing who is young and who isn't, due to the insane amount of data they collect.
A Facebook exec a while ago literally said that kids are the best demographic to get hooked on your platform.
