here it goes:
what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.
so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed 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 #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Pretty much the same for me: I don't want to have my social interactions mediated by an algorithm that is only thinking about optimizing profit.Mastodon is a break from the ceaseless bargaining and hyper optimizations of pretty much everything else I could interact with. 99% argument free; the lack of reach is a feature, not a bug.

@blogdiva I'm in my early 30s, for whatever that's worth, and I mainly use the Fediverse for posting cute art I make, or at least that's what I use Friendica, Mastodon, and Pixelfed for primarily.
The Fediverse is sorely missing a DeviantArt equivalent, though, as I've effectively abandoned my 16-year-old DA account at this point; I'm keeping it around for posterity, but I'm no longer actively posting there and haven't really been active there for years now.
I recently updated by bio on there to acknowledge this and point to the places where I actively post now, those being Blacksky, Pixelfed, Mastodon, and Friendica.
