Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@leffe Interesting!
I'm still figuring out the federated aspect of it all, so I actually thought I was directing the question only at the fork-people (the forks? the forksters?)
@thordis
Yeah, I decided you must think you're addressing only forkiverse people. I actually had to look up forkiverse, and ended up looking at the transcript of the first episode of the NYT's Hard Fork podcast. There are millions of currently active fediverse users so the spread of responses you get will depend on how well federated the forkiverse is. -

Are you a:
@thordis genuinely disappointed to see there aren't as many zoomers (like me) on the fediverse.
I mean, I know the reasons why, but it's not as bad as some of them make it look like

@thordis
Yeah I'm a Millennial (Generation Y) born Dec 18th 1983.
LOLz Boomers are only 13%, that's because for Boomers to be able vote on here they would need someone to help them vote becasue it's Tech/the Internet
@ETARD_The_LifeCaster mmm nope. Booxers invented this shit, chief. @thordis

Are you a:
@thordis It's a misconception. To make people believe that they are all born with common traits, a bit like a way of putting them in little boxes, is an illusion.
I could understand it for major changes (the war in particular and what shortly followed). But today... Do we have to have a name worthy of the Apple brand on our backs?

@hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis
how are you doing fellow Xennial? Take care yourself. I'm where you are right now and I sometimes have to pull away from it all and dive into something completely unrelated to the world around me. I've watched most of my friends and family struggle. It is bleak right now and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is very scary.
But you're not alone. Stay strong. Once history turns over again, we'll be needed to help with our unique insights and wisdom as children somewhere between two arbitrarily defined albeit unique generations.
Apes, together, strong.

First I have to survive. I have lost my job *again*, at the worst possible time *again*. I have no savings, because I used them all up last time I was laid off, and didn't get the chance to build them back up. I don't even know how I'm going to feed my kids tonight. And the job market is *destroyed* for people in my field. (Non-LLM machine learning) Add the tariffs and the oncoming economic downturn they're projecting, and we are screwed.

@hosford42 @FuturisticRobert @szczurtorebkowy @thordis there's always money in the banana stand chk-CHK
Edit - I should explain. I wasn't trying to be trite about your situation at all even though it looks like I clearly am in retrospect. That was more pointing out how generational wealth breeds the inability to notice others struggles. If you always have a banana stand in your family, you don't have to worry about the day-to-day of people without a banana stand

@thordis Voted Other since I squarely fit into the dead middle of Xennial.
-
I’m a very very old “millennial” or a very very young gen X— not shocked by these results though.
@futurebird @thordis i think we're born in the same year or at least within 1 year of each other, which means most people i've seen born 2-3 years before us who talk about the x/y boundary tend to identify either as millennials or xennials... -

Oh god I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s any corporate IT job out there that’s safe from LLM AI and it’s snake oil peddlers.
Do you have a paypal or anything like that? Also check around your area for mutual aid. I’m rooting for you.

@thordis I personaly find this names confusing. Why not jusy use year ranges and make it clear and precise?
