    @ReggieHere @hajni @thordis

    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.

      @thordis Depending on which generational boundary is used, I'm either X or Millenial.

        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.

              I could be called a zillenial, but I'd rather suggest a moomin.

                @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.

                      @hajni

                      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 GenX gets on my nervesssss! Everybody is blaming boomers for everything, but it’s GenX that are the real menaces (I can’t prove it yet)

                            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

                                @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.

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