@jeffjarvis 100% I'm Gen0. Dad brought home a computer in 1978, I was on BBS and stuff by the mid 80s. The internet proper (such as it was) in 89. I was in rural OK and it offered me a whole world of people with new ideas.
My parents blamed 'people on the internet' for my being gay but of course the truth is, I found the internet because I was gay, isolated, and suffering in redneckia.
When they say 'dangerous to children' they mean 'threatens the social order of adults'.
So this is my second proper day of Mastodon.
