Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@chrishas35 @tieandjeans @thordis it fits, doesn't it? I only just heard it, and instantly knew why

@epilonious @normjess @thordis

Yeah don't forget the autistic community as well! [waves hello]

@thordis

Y

@thordis instead of „boomer“ I prefer „analog native“.

@NicksWorld yet another reason to party like it's 1999 every year ‍️

@AngelaPreston @thordis

@thordis Some say some of my messages are a bit childish for my age.

@jwcph if you're reading something a dozen times and still don't remember it, you could be a Boomer, or possibly gen Alpha ‍️

@thordis

@normjess wait...the Fediverse has accounts that *aren't* queer furries?

@thordis

@thordis @alice

depends on who's slicing whether I'm millennial or X; I don't really feel a part of either clade tbh.

@thordis @chopsstephens I identify as ‘other’, or weird.

@thordis Oops, you're half right, it's mostly "the olds" (millennial+). 🥲

@hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis ostensibly it's centered around us being born into a totally analog world that still played outside all day without supervision and movies and TV had production values still and there were Rolodexes, but then we were still young enough for the flip to a digital society to be able to implant itself in our lives in a way that the Lead Paint Generation and Gen X was just a little too old and inelastic for. Some of them could, but not overall.

@thordis Mid-Boomer. Too young for Woodstock so it's not fair to lump us in with them.

@AlexCorby that's making a comeback in the US right now! Doublethink and Newspeak are like central pillars of the current administration.

@thordis

@thordis Old people don't understand those categories.

@thordis
put it this way, I'm old enough to not have a bloody clue as to what your poll means

@thordis Xillenial? On the tail end of GenX and beginning of Millenial.

@alice @thordis
not all communists are cat girls I guess ‍️

just the ones you and I browse

there are also neuro-divergent people talking trains

and nude-o-divergent people looking to get railed

there's a fair few Scottish servers 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

some animal rights activists

some Green Party people

some game developers are just cishet non-furry nerds... though maybe some of them are 'eggs'

but there's a space for heterosexuals, cisgenders, and non-imals too ️

I think broadly its a bit of a refuge for left leaning outcasts from an increasingly right wing society, but that's part of its charm

being on team diversity makes for less of a bubble though. in fact you can find someone to argue with fairly easily. but be kind always x
