    @szczurtorebkowy @thordis Same here, very late Gen X but my life has more in common with Millennials born just a year or two after me.

      @thordis I'm shocked that anyone even remembers GenX exists.

      And generally we prefer it that way, less tech support.

        @leffe Interesting!

        I'm still figuring out the federated aspect of it all, so I actually thought I was directing the question only at the fork-people (the forks? the forksters?)

        Sorry, but I fear you broadcasted it to all us other misfits in the whole Fediverse, too. 😂

        I think there is no "server only" setting for messages. 🤔

          @thordis I think the main thing to take away from this poll is that Fedi loves to click on a poll.

                As a millennial I always got the impression that the Boomer generation (and I only speak generally, obviously) was planning on dragging every single thing they can into the grave when they finally go. The economy, the environment, our democracies etc.

                Deprivation and salted earth is the punishment for my generation not being right-wing enough or buying into the neoliberal "grand plan".

                I believe the Boomer generation is also referred to as the 'Me' generation, and in the West it was certainly a good time to be born.

                Full employment, good pensions, health and social care, affordable housing, free education, historically low levels of wealth inequality and historically high levels of social mobility were common before the eighties.

                    I think my birth year (1997) has been slipped from one gen to another multiple times.

                    I'm some sort of bonk wave generation.

                        @thordis Pretty sure it's mostly GenX here. Some Boomers too.

                            @torstentorsten @thordis This is a very USA-centric thing - in other parts of the world, everything is shifted by a few years, although increasingly less for the newer generations, since everyone started becoming much more online, and US mannerisms started poisoning the world faster.

                                @thordis who has that misconception?! Honestly, I'm surprised genX isn't a flat out majority. Mastodon is basically the internet we grew up with.

                                  GenX is largely ignored, quite possibly because it's much smaller than both the Boomer and Millennial generations to either side, but it's interesting that so many of the world's leaders are still Boomers (Xi, Trump, Putin, Von Der Leyen, ...), even as they slip into senility.

                                          That doesn't seem to be a feature, but I agree that it should.

                                          If you post something with a public setting it is visible to all servers (unless your server has blocked a particular server).

                                          There are really important reasons why it's federated into lots of smaller servers: https://fedi.tips/why-is-the-fediverse-on-so-many-separate-servers
