Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

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.
And all of that reversed while I went from born to adult, thanks to bullshit "trickle down" economics. (Don't ask what is trickling. It isn't money.)

@tieandjeans @thordis love this title for us
@chrishas35 @tieandjeans @thordis it fits, doesn't it? I only just heard it, and instantly knew why

Yeah don't forget the autistic community as well! [waves hello]

@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

@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.

@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 -
@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 cishet 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
