Lemmy feels very gen z ish though.

That was so unexpected that I misread it and made a joke about gen x. We seem that young to you?

Heartache to heartache, we stand. No promises, no demands. Love is a battlefield.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

Like, young at heart or young enough to trust a fart?

[–] peacepath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh yes we are young! And since no less than 40 years! ^^

I have that instance blocked, so I guess we're experiencing very different versions of Lemmy.

That's your problem.... .ml is a tankie sub and most tankies are just the lefts version of the rights version of libertarians. They live in a bubble of ignorance.

I was spending 12 hours a day staring at screen all the way back in the 90s. It was just a 14inch CRT not a phone screen. I was Gen z before Gen z was even born.

No it doesn't. The only active fandom community here is for Star Trek, people quote George Carlin so much that it's made me hate bits I used to find uproarious, and it generally has a curmudgeonly feel to it.

It's Gen X for sure.
