   back in my days, we used to lie about our ages to be in adult spaces WITHOUT actually interacting with the adults because stranger danger
   
   what happened to that?

     @Nanakoko The normalization of all spaces being all ages. At some point, companies always want more money, and so they try the worst possible decision, one that kills a lot of products. Appealing to every single person in existence for the broadest market. Now that you have dozens of sites seeing profit from letting kids on the net, everyone else expects the rest of the net to be the same, since the modern corporate net sets them up with that safe space expectation.
     Just yesterday, I saw a case of some dude being "cancelled" on twitter for grooming a minor. His crime? Making crude jokes on Fur Affinity years ago with at the time a kid (who also happens to be trans and have minimum 3 life crippling mental illnesses according to the bio) who had left no indication of being a child on the site.
     The expectation now is you start out assuming every little thing you do will be a crime, and everyone you interact with is an underage child, no matter what. Because instead of proper moderation and children learning to stay out or lurk, the children instead now just try to make everything into internet drama so they can ruin someone else's life after finding a dox and spamming all potential employers.
