A bit luddite don't you think? Nobody encouraged me or you back when we were children to go online and chat using IRC instead of going outside to interact with friends in person, yet we did. I'm sure a lot of parents would prefer a more monitored environment (claimed) than IRC and such.

I'd prefer no chat client whatsoever, which I can enforce as a parent.

Not a luddite, have just seen the damage large tech corporations have caused to societal fabric in the name of profits and keeping that out of our family.

Disclaimer: Grew up on EFnet, would rather have my kids playing outside.
