I don't get what teenagers posting semi-anonymously are learning that they can't learn from seeing older queer people post about. A lot of the progress in pushing back homophobia in the 2000s-2010s wasn't kids doing it, it was visibly gay adults.
I made friends I went to my first pride with through these "useless" online platforms.
Remember that people aren't born adults, they actually have to survive to that age. Which is kind of difficult when you are alone.
I am talking about community, not about just "learning". The internet is the only real source of community and friends for many queer youths
You don't get the value of direct social interaction and community participation vs sitting unseen and unheard watching "the adults" have conversations amongst themselves?
Learning and community aren't the same thing, your comment doesn't address her criticism at all.
This is quite the take to be making on a social media site semi anonymously
Hi, I was a kid in the 90s and early 2000's.
The first place I could safely say "I am gay" (spoiler I was not but I only understood straight and gay as things you could be) was usenet of all places.
