Instagram and DDLG

[daddies_velvet_kitty]

When I had first got an Instagram a month or two ago my first thought was to check to see if there was a ddlg tag and ddlg accounts. I thought about making one to post some of my little outfits, onsies, and stuffies just for fun because ddlg is something I am passionate about. Unfortunately I figured out a lot of the people running these accounts were underage. But they weren't posting anything that was dangerous, simply I thought they were expressing their little side until they could fully join the community but I was shocked to find out that a lot of these accounts posted about helping underage people find littles/caregivers.

 

An example would be they would post a picture and a bit of information about the little/daddy like, {Abby, female, age 15 little age 2-3. Is looking for a mommy or daddy ages 14-17. Enjoys disney, coloring and cookies. Dm me if your interested in being her caregiver.}  I didn't know if I should say something, report the account, but I was totally shocked on how many underage people are in our community. Before I thought it was just a couple hundred, now I'm aware of just how many there are. Maybe I'm completely naive to the world but as someone who actively tries to educate people about our community I can see why they have judged us the way they have. The same goes for tumblr too. 

 

I found myself in a tough spot, I want to have an account where I can post my outfits and stuffies but at the same time I can't check to see if everyone is 18+ I could only put that in my bio and hope for the best. I've talked to a few people who run ddlg accounts who are of age and they say they just ignore it because it will happen anyway. But to me that just doesn't seem right, I don't want to promote underage people (littles especially) being in ddlg relationships at such a young age. I guess maybe the only option is not have an account? 

 

Woooo! to the people that actually came this far

I myself have a ddlg/abdl/ageregression instagram, and my bio on there specifically says "18+ only please" and at the bottom it says "No Underage Please," but yet minors still follow me anyways and its quite annoying honestly. It says in fine print this isn't a place for you to be.

 

I have noticed though, that the people like you and me and everyone else, who is of age to be in this community, have bashed underage littles so bad, and have literally told them off, and harassed them. That's not the way to be to people.

 

When an underage little/daddy/mommy follows me, I simply DM them and tell them nicely about my no underage policy. So far they have all understood and have replied nicely to me.

 

But I say go for it and have an instagram for it! It's a great way to connect more with people and make new friends!

There is no real safe guard to it. It's public. I wouldn't do it if it's going to cause you stress.

 

For me, I don't care if someone underage sees my stuff. I'm not sharing anything NSFW. Nor am I trying to help people hook up (so to speak). I'm just sharing my life, just like I used to on my old journal. If that encourages or discourages someone, I can't control that.

I can understand why you'd think this and I myself have thought along these lines but DD/lg is a part of BDSM (which is mostly sexual) so underage people can be indirectly led into preventable danger. It's why we can't make exceptions.

Well, if you have an issue with this I'd suggest making your account private and ACCEPTING each follower manually.

I forgot you can even do this! Great solution.

Glad to help!

that's um... horrifying 

like what the heck

smol teenagers are using Instagram as a dating app or something 

 

i have an insta but i only have like 3 followers 

 

i would like send those people a message and tell them are they stupid? they are going to attract child predators and pedos to these young girls like that. That's scary! I don't think kids understand how bad people will trick them and take advantage of them. they think they are so smart, kids think they are too smart to get hurt or raped...

Teenagers looking for other teenagers who enjoy what they do, it's really not that bad. Yes it's kinda scary to think about all things that might happen. They're young and people will want to take advantage of that. However even if you where to say something and report their post, it's not going to stop them. We where all teenagers once, we know how it works. They're going to do what they want regardless of what their told, and the more they're told they can't do or have something, the more they want it and the more likely they're going to do it. Honesty more information should be made available to them, of course I'm not saying welcome them into the community but information about how to be safe and healthy, information about what CG/L is and isn't. Because at the end of the day, we can't do anything to actually stop them, but they can be educated. But this is like a whole different topic.

 

Generally the minor isn't trying to cause trouble for anyone and you can simply explain yourself and ask them nicely not to fallow you. If you label your stuff +18 and make it clear, you really shouldn't get into any trouble, expensively if your not doing anything your not suppose to do.  Most social media can be set to a private mood and you can approve or deny friends/followers. If your that worried about it, try to see if you can set a private mood. However if it's just going to cause you to stress over it, maybe you should stay off? You wouldn't have much fun if your always worrying, and that would defeet the purpus of making the account in the first place, right?

I have my account set to private and I only approve those who have an 18+ age in their description. If they have no age I message them and ask for their age before approving or denying their request. So far I have not had any problems with them, and I have managed to keep most of them off of my Instagram save four or five I have removed and blocked from it.

IG says the accout is ur fb friend. If ur worried about that use a screen name & don't show your face.

I have a fetish account, but I follow a few ddlg accounts. A few I follow have their accounts set to private and only accept people who have their age in their bio. You could always try that
