I won’t lie, I feel like an outcast and I imagine majority of Lemmy are Millennials and Gen-X. The r/GenZ subreddit is mostly garbage but still want find an online community that is for Gen-Z by Gen-Z so I can use less of Reddit if possible. I know, I commited biggest sin on Lemmy for using Reddit.
I’m not sure if I would have the time and energy to make a community from scratch. Mainly just trying to sell the idea of Lemmy to people without sounding pretentious. Also, I did suggested Mastodon to my friends and was disinterested. Not going to lie, it did a hurt a bit as I do feel bit passionate about the Fediverse and I feel weird for being interested which most people in their 20s won’t care and using Instagram or TikTok instead.
Is it possible English isn’t your first language, and you interpreted “whatever the fuck” as offensive or snarky? I can assure you that wasn’t the intended tone.
Millenials and GenX started using the internet when we were basically the only ones online. Everyone was a handle, there was no gender, race, or age, just another person. Introducing a generational divide between users is a new concept introduced by deanonymization through social media. But it’s not necessary here. I honestly never know if I’m talking to a 50yo boomer or a kid with an iPad, and I don’t care. Just contribute to the discussion.
