Could people boozt this? I am so curious.
Are you a:
@thordis instead of „boomer“ I prefer „analog native“.

@AngelaPreston @thordis I was born in 1999 so I do believe I'm a millennial.
@NicksWorld yet another reason to party like it's 1999 every year

@thordis But I was fitted with a brain from a millennial.
@thordis Some say some of my messages are a bit childish for my age.

@thordis Wanna hear something fun? I don't know which of those is which, including which one I belong in - and apparently I don't want to know, because I've read about it dozens of times & it just won't stick
@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 Fediverse DOES have a network of smaller Gen Z servers
but they tend to be Queer or Furry focused. and occasionally Game Development
they are also quite insular for valid reasons, and I'm certainly not going to list a bunch so everyone can go bother their users
but they are with us. you just need to move in the correct circles and they will pop up to make you feel ancient

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

@Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis how are we lucky?
@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.

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

@thordis I was born in 1984. I consider myself Gen Orwell.
@AlexCorby that's making a comeback in the US right now! Doublethink and Newspeak are like central pillars of the current administration.

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 cis 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

@thordis Xennial here - on the cusp of millenials and gen X

@Clem @hosford42 @szczurtorebkowy @thordis
That's funny, cos that description is almost word for word the standard description of Gen X, apart from the bit at the end.
But hey, us GenX-ers are used to having our experiences misappropriated - when we're not being completely ignored/forgotten, of course. It's the other main generational cliche about us, apart from our endless snark and weary cynicism.

@Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis I don't feel lucky. I feel like I'm watching all my hopes and dreams be torn down for good, just as they were about to finally be within reach. The stuff I worked toward my whole life... I worked toward it for nothing. All the angst, trying to be good enough for my parents and then my children, only to find out it was pointless because it doesn't matter what I do or did. The world has turned to a giant dumpster fire, and I don't know how we will ever climb out of it.
