@dlakelan Don't forget the disenheartened 20 somethings searching for a better web...

@dlakelan 40+?

@dlakelan Best explanation I’ve ever heard!

@dlakelan There isn't a "big mood" style of expression big enough to express the size of the mood I'm currently experiencing from your toot.
This was all a mistake. We should go back to disconnected BBSes. Or maybe ditch all the digital stuff and return to encyclopedias.
@douglasvb @dlakelan
I explained BBSes today to a 20-something year old today.
He was like WTF.

@dlakelan I'm warming to Fediverse and Mastodon. Lots of people dabble here, and it takes a long time to find people who are actually engaged with it.

@dlakelan Now I'm beginning to wonder if the internet can still perform its original function—to keep people communicating after a massive disruption.
It can't keep people communicating NOW. . .
Referring to the whole dueling-realities war we're going through. What good is communicating if you can't trust/believe the reply?

@dlakelan Really wish more than literally one 40+ year old within a reasonable travel distance was on here. I'm tired of explicitly mentioning being a hobbyist programmer and people acting like I'm a stereotypical Amish person for daring to not have a Facebook or Instagram account.
Am I cursed to forever be too distant from the cool people on the internet to hang out IRL?! /hj

@dlakelan I feel seen and a little attacked but in a good way and i feel ambivalent about it.
Also i am glad to see people 40- are here too! -

@dlakelan the underlying good tech is still there - should probably set up an own web server that allows traffic only from Lynx.
