DIY- Do Something New Everyday 4+

concerned-ish...

heyy so i might delete this because well... i just don't want to come off rude or something, but here goes nothing-

DIY is an amazing website/app, i've had it for almost 3 years :) But i do have some concerns, DIY (it even says in the introduction) if for 6-16. Now i've come across a profile of someone over 16 (not an adult but still older these the targeted audience) There are people under 13 commenting and stuff on his posts, now this may just be me but- it just comes off as weird. I don't want to be quick to judge but it's also not like he posts a talent (like drawing, writing, etc.) All he does is post photos of himself and other teenage boy things. I was analyzing his profile and I see one of the mods saying that they took down two of his posts for not being fully clothed and guns/weapons. Now the weapon thing doesn't concern me too much (unless it was in a graphic way) but not being fully clothed??? I don't know about you but that seems like a MAJOR red flag, even if he's just posting himself without a shirt, keep in mind most of the users on here are MINORS, CHILDREN, and PEOPLE UNDER THIRTEEN. Shouldn't he be on something like Instagram or TikTok?? Now I don't want to be quick to judge but i've also noticed a lot of the things he likes are photos of girls. That is concerning to say the least. Guys i'm not 100% about this stuff but still, take this into consideration if you ever see this. Thanks again, a DIY user.

Amazing app

This app is so fun and engaging your kids can learn a whole bunch of new things! And it totally gives them inspiration in their creativity! I’m a user and I’m speaking from experience, this app is awesome and it helps kids find other people who like the same things and then I get so happy when I get even one more follower and it engages me to get more followers by posting more and more things! And this app is so supportive of anyone! and tbh ITS THE BEST THING IVE EVER DOWNLOADED (btw I’m not lying It the best) and I’m not some jerk parent that thinks this is the worst app because you have to pay for it. There is different settings and you can have a free trial for 14 days and you can cancel the subscription and even have up to 4 kids on the same account so you’re not paying for 4 different kids. It’s awesome and it definitely boosts kids confidence and yeah that’s all so I totally recommend downloading this app! OH AND ALSO… there is these adults on DIY that moderate stuff so it’s not inappropriate and is super nice and they delete things that are inappropriate ASAP so no kids can have access or can see things you don’t want you’re kids to see - a person who uses this app 😁😄😃😀❤️❤️❤️❤️

I used to love DIY back in 2019 until around the beginning of 2021 DIY was so much better back when it was called jam and back in 2019 and 2021 on the App Store they are still putting it like it used to be a app for kids to explore and create and stuff but here’s what I don’t like about it there has been a ton of challenges saying you can win a Apple Watch if you win this contest I just honestly don’t like it because kids aren’t doing it for the creativity anymore they’re doing it for the prize and I feel like they could be bribing the kids to do the challenges in away because the more kids just like to post now for like popularity and to get more followers and most like TikTok there is no cussing on here so it is a little bit better but there also was this one account with the name of Ted and then a few numbers that I can’t remember and they were posting not appropriate pictures and not fully clothed people it was so bad and the mods didn’t ban them until like a week or five days later so it’s just changed a lot there’s a way that you can when are ukulele on there and when a Rubiks cube and honestly it’s just ridiculous and then somehow there’s also a way to stop hunger and stuff and I did that and I was supposed to get an email about it saying that it was complete and I never did :(
