here it goes:

what surprises me about the is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of . we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Originating from all parts of the world, still having vivid ties with folks there. All that feels like a nice and very hard needed "undertow" against certain sentiments in society that "are not so nice¨.

I couldn't agree more!

It's like rediscovering the dial-up bulletin boards of the 90s. We welcome a bit of the wild west feel of the early internet where the follows don't matter and the conversation is mostly legit.

I hear they are going to devalue age units. One New Age Unit will be equivalent to one hundred Old Age Units. This is to save RAM. And that's not even taking into account decimalization

About ⅓ of my age units were British, the rest were metric,

Most of the British ones switched between Greenwich Mean Time and British Summer Time, the rest were a mix of many time zones.

I was born at midnight so my parents were given a choice of two days to register my birth.

I was born closer to sea level than I have been for much of my life, so I have to adjust for relativistic gravitational time effects.

It's all very confusing.

10 years later and the situation is still the same.

The only stressor is every time something starts aching in my body I go "is this it? Is this the Old Age?" but it generally it's just eating too spicy. or too much fiber.

If you've remained childless, then 60 is the hard number, because that's when your body starts breaking down.

P.S. I was probably breaking down before 60 but I spent my 60th birthday in the emergency room with something minor I'd never experienced before. Sigh.

That said, I'm inline skating 1000s of miles per year at 60+.

That is why I put the comma between "old" and "wise". 😛 Though, all who make it to old age are bound to have at least one nugget of wisdom somewhere - even if misplaced or forgotten time to time. 🙂
