That was the main reason I joined lemmy.ml

Though now I carry connotations of the .ml instance so if I had to do it over again I’d choose another instance.

Almost missed that, thanks for pointing it out!

The most private seems like a small media player. It would make music more personal, but that also may not be ideal in this situation.

I’d probably just get an old phone that can run LineageOS, strip it of any apps I don’t want the kid having access to and put a simple launcher on it so they only have the apps I want them to have access to. Bam, cheap locked down music streamer. If the kid asks why it can run Spotify but not access the internet, I’d say it’s because it’s a music player not a phone, or something of that nature.
