    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 I guess I'm part of a generation who doesn't know what this is about 😃 (probably 'Generation ?')

      @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.

                  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. 🤔

                    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

                      I was sure I was "gen Y", and that it was distinct from "millenials" but it seems not.
                      So Millenial here, but as I'm in France and everything is shifted, I see some similarities with gen X too.

                        @thordis I was born at the statistical cusp of the boomers and generation x, which means I am about the same age as the characters in Douglas Coupland's novel Generation X.

                          @thordis I'm on the cusp ("Xennial" is such an ugly word) and, apparently, there's some astrological reason why people from the year of my birth are actually more aligned with Gen Z. I'm also a child of cusp generation people raised by older parents than their cohort, so they didn't get socialized to their expected gen's values. So generational categories don't serve me well but I have a definite allegiance to one of the generations, the one I voted for. 😛

                            Calling a server forkiverse can maybe be seen as misleading. It's still part of the fediverse.

                                      It was Gen Y afaik, followed by Gen Z(oomer).

                                      Not sure why it changed, maybe a millennium thing?

                                          Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

                                          Could people boozt this? I am so curious.

                                          Xennial here. I seem to have been one of the first millennials to be born, and have more in common with the tail end of Generation X than with Zillennials.
