Would anyone actually use a textboard if I started one? If not, what about an imageboard? A caveat for the latter is that NSFW lolisho imagery would be banned. I prefer to mitigate the possibility of getting v& by the Leafistani feds for an anon having a Varis moment.
t. Intending on selfhosting
Addendum: My choices of software for text and imageboard respectively are awoo and jschan

@xianc78 @dielan Ensuring your kid is safe nor engaging in idiocy on the computer should have the same procedure as being a sysadmin wrangling normalfags interacting with a Unix-like system. (e.g. no sudo/root escalation privileges, block any pornography/malicious URLs in /etc/hosts, program installation if needed is limited to local installation, no root password login, etc.)
@dielan You also have no control of what their friends would post about them. I had my first name revealed on a chat room I ran years ago, because someone who knew my personally mentioned me by my real name. Granted, it was only my first name, but still.
@dielan Do it. Even if they use pseudonyms, they can post something that could link back to them.
Look at it this way, unless your children are home-schooled your kids MAY end up in a news story on the school newspaper which may end up online, and they often use the kids real names without your permission. Now, while your kids may not actually use their real names online, they might drop hints (like something unique about their school even without giving it away; let's say that the principle's office is literally in the hallway), and people can make searches from their. If enough information is posted, they can pin down the exact school, and even the exact person.
Once, they are on their own, they can do what they want.
@dielan How about telling them to never post ANYTHING on the Internet until they're 18?

Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) can be divided into 3 categories, depending on where the authority resides:
- Secret key (did:key, did:pkh).
- Server (did:web).
- Blockchain (hundreds of them).
With a #DID derived from a secret key you can truly own your identity. Unfortunately, key rotation is not supported, and if you lose your key, you lose everything. This can be partially mitigated with distributed key generation techniques that make key recovery possible if only M of N shards are available, but they are complicated.
Servers can rotate keys, but they can also suddenly disappear, and again you lose everything.
Blockchain-based systems support key rotation and don't have a single point of failure (if done right). Sometimes they are called "servers with superpowers". However, popular ones are not suitable for the job because writing to them is very expensive and their clients need powerful computing devices and a lot of storage.
Is there a way around that? Yes. Blockchains can be very lightweight and they don't actually need a cryptocurrency, miners or stakers in order to work. There is a simple consensus algorithm known as Proof of authority, and one of the Fediverse competitors, Bluesky, seems to be planning to build such system:

>We are actively hoping to replace it with or evolve it into something less centralized - likely a permissioned DID consortium.
They are afraid to say the B-word, but "permissioned consortium" is exactly what it is. Of course, their identity #blockchain doesn't have to be the only one in existence. I think in the future we might see quite a lot of "identity cooperatives" of different shapes and sizes. Perhaps even a universal client, curl for identity, can be developed.

@koropokkur @Humpleupagus Ultima is an RPG. Zelda is an action-adventure. They are two different things.
@Humpleupagus I have not. I don't really pay attention to fan games.
