here it goes:
what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.
so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed 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.
@blogdiva excelente, le agregaría que la gente siempre está dispuesta a ayudar

would be interesting if the War Between The Grnerations was being whipped along by marketing and journalism-but-I-repeat-myself

@Alison Luddites were fighting for labor rights and the redistribution of wealth thru social services for those who didn't have jobs because of the machines, and as higher wages and business ownership for those who were left to work with the machines. they smashed the machines not because they were bad but because capitalists were using them to harm people FOR PROFIT.

I am turning 32 next week. (:
I guess I count as "young folk" then too. :PI've met 20-something's here, but it is so fun to meet older, and wiser people here that you don't really get in the ragebait social medias. Older artists, crafters, cobblers, leather workers, writers, solar punks - all sharing wisdom that would be drowned out by the algorithms elsewhere.
It's like gathering granparent stories many of didn't get to experience. (^_^)

Republicans worked very hard at eliminating those sources of wisdom.

Dan Patrick, of course, never meant the economy for regular Americans. He meant saving the wealth of his billionaires.

@Npars01 @blogdiva
Yeah, that comes with the whole eugenicist economy where "weak" are left to die. It's the same thing as allowing the pandemic spread unmitigated and untested so they have plausable deniability in why cancers, heart conditions, and sudden deaths have been just increasing and increasing...let alone the amount of people with Long Covid.They ignore the science to prey on the "other" for the rich to benefit. May they all rot.

Older doesn't always mean wiser. I'm 74 and still an idiot 😆 -

Off-topic, nothing to do with the fediverse, but regarding "wisdom of the elderly": may I recommend a youtube-channel that portraits older persons that share their really beautiful thoughts and stories?

That is why I put the comma between "old" and "wise". :P Though, all who make it to old age are bound to have at least one nugget of wisdom somewhere - even if misplaced or forgotten time to time. (: -

Oh, but I haven't told you the name of the channel, yet :D
Look out for "reflections of life" :)

@blogdiva I'm 39 and trying not to have an emotional breakdown about the idea of hitting 40 in less than a year
@zkat @blogdiva Somewhere btw 40 and 50 is when most people start freaking out because kids are graduating high school, starting college, and OMG, maybe the first grandchild? If you've remained childless, then 60 is the hard number, because that's when your body starts breaking down.
P.S. I was probably breaking down before 60 but I spent my 60th birthday in the emergency room with something minor I'd never experienced before. Sigh.
That said, I'm inline skating 1000s of miles per year at 60+.

I have picked up a few skills, but I'm still the same lefty rebel I was at 18,constantly arguing with the 60yr old youngster downstairs about imigration and brexshit. 😁 -

@zkat @blogdiva The best part of hitting 40 was noticing that it didn't actually change anything other than the box i have to check in forms.
10 years later and the situation is still the same.The only stressor is every time something starts aching in my body I go "is this it? Is this the Old Age?" but it generally it's just eating too spicy. or too much fiber.

@Alison you can be a luddite and be into tech, but the conversation on mastodon IMO tends to lean more towards "tech bad" rather than "heres how to use tech to elevate your community". a good group that does the latter is 100 rabbits. they have a great blog where they post about low-tech solutions to daily life aboard a boat (where you have to be self sufficient for long periods of time). for the record, i tend to identify as a luddite but also love using (and breaking) ai. both can coexist
