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 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+.
