There are plenty of reasons why we would need people younger than 16 to be able to chat with people in the KDE community. We've had contributors and even people giving presentations at Akademy who were younger than 16. My guess would be because those under the age of 16 are likely treated differently under rules like the GDPR (see https://gdpr-info.eu/art-8-gdpr/ for instance) > > -- > https://www.krita.org Cheers, Ben
