The ageism is so weird on lemmy. In other threads folks talk about it as if boomers are all moochers stealing from their children by reverse mortgaging homes or asking for handouts out. But when an article points out the generosity they have it more blame that they screwed the young generation as well. Also ,there’s a lot of older folks that didn’t vote Republican, yet lemmy communities seem to think they are 100 percent R.
I think there is also some blame on the millennial generation. Who invented the social media cess pool that has helped reinforce and polarize the right to weird new extremes and have that to a less tech savvy generation?
I hope you see the irony here that you’re complaining about people on Lemmy overgeneralizing, yet in the same breath you overgeneralize about the people on Lemmy
Generalizing a subset of folks that is Lemmy users is nowhere in scale like generalizing an entire generation. Lemmy users skew in certain demographics and political leanings due to the nature of the Reddit backlash, FOSS advocates, etc.
