    @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. 😛

        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

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

            @thordis I'm Gen X and I'm in this poll. I find that confusing, being so used to being overlooked.

                @thordis@theforkiverse.com I'm still confused as to what these words actually mean, I think I've been called 3 out of those? Also been called "weird youth" by a person 1 year younger than me, so there's that I guess.

                  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.

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

                  Not sure why it changed, maybe a millennium thing?

                    @thordis GenX/Millennial Cusper. The Oregon Trail generation as it is sometimes called. Also Xennial, apparently.

                      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.

                            Discrete generations is utter nonsense on a par with astrology. Human reproduction is continuous.

                              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

                                  I believe such divisions of people merely by decade was a tool for western Advertising agencies. It stereotypes people, devalues them and ignores the many differences between people even in the same culture and "class". It's dishonest and misleading.
