    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.

      @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.

        @thordis GenX gets on my nervesssss! Everybody is blaming boomers for everything, but itโ€™s GenX that are the real menaces (I canโ€™t prove it yet)

          Sorry, but I fear you broadcasted it to all us other misfits in the whole Fediverse, too. ๐Ÿ˜‚

          I think there is no "server only" setting for messages. ๐Ÿค”

            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

              @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. ๐Ÿ˜›

                  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.

                            @thordis none of this because "generations" are just a meme humans don't have a global fixed mating season or any such 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.

                                      @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

                                          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.
