Gregory's ServerI wonder what the TikTok teenagers think about the Twitter blowup and this whole Mastodiaspora thing.

 @robinhouston wait just double checking you did say Mastodon and not "Mastodiaspora" because that is a word I just made up @mcc I just tried to clarify. “Mastodon? I'm vaguely aware of it, because you've talked at me about it. I don't really care, because Twitter's for old people. No – Twitter's for Millennials. It's for old people who don't think they're old.”  @robinhouston @mcc hey we know we're old. We just wish that there was a moment in time between having been treated like children and being treated like out-of-touch geriatrics. Just, like, one year being treated like a normal adult would've been nice but, alas.  @mausmalone @robinhouston @mcc I saw it pointed out somewhere that it's entirely possible that there will never be a Gen X president of the United States. We had Boomer presidents for 28 years and when that streak was finally broken it was because we elected someone *too old* to be a Boomer. @CarlMuckenhoupt @mausmalone @robinhouston if elon musk does a coup does that count as "president" or is it something else at that point @CarlMuckenhoupt @mausmalone @robinhouston @mcc we might get a Gen X president the same way we got our first (probably only) Silent president, Biden--when they're pretty old. (We can hope. If you're betting on one for 2024, it's probably DeSantis.)    @robinhouston @mcc I guess Generation Yuzz thinks Generation Y is “old people who don’t think they’re old” Sounds about right for what kids think of their parents (… “Yuzz” is the letter that comes after Z in the extended alphabet of “On Beyond Zebra”; Gen Yuzz is also known as Gen Α, with a capital Greek letter alpha - α) @robinhouston @mcc my teen and cousins noticed me scrolling on something and collectively said “twitter” then one said - “no that’s not twitter what is it?” (Mostly because I couldn’t get a word in edgewise) I didn’t say what it was to up the intrigue - so it’s only a matter of time now…   @mcc about the same as us twitter folks felt about LJ being sold to a russian advertising concern A small subset are aware of it but care not at all; the vast majority don't recognize anything important in the relevant messages @mcc I think you and I were fof or maybe even friends on LJ, but it's been yoinks |
@mcc I would assume they don't
