here it goes:

what surprises me about the is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Skewing the average in your favor. From what I can see in the comments, you’re in good company.

Also, for the person who is contemplating a breakdown when they hit 40… we all did and then realized we were too young and stupid then to understand that we had another 20+ years to go and we should embrace the inevitable passing of time. Be good to yourself. Enjoy now. It’s always now.
