Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

⬇️ What is your age? ⬇️

Less than 18 years old
2.2%
18 to 27 years old
17.3%
28 to 39 years old
35.1%
40 or more years old
45.4%

The Heated newsletter will no longer refer to "natural gas", instead using "methane gas". "Most people think things that are called 'natural' are good for the environment — and natural gas is objectively not." Language matters! https://heated.world/p/why-were-not-calling-it-natural-gas
Why we're not calling it "natural gas" anymore

The fossil fuel industry's greenwashing of gas threatens a livable future. We want to ensure our readers won't be fooled.

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

Teenage Me: "So, in the 2020s is the world a corporate dystopia with cool looking motorcycles and everyone is constantly connected to a global information network?"

Time Travelling Me: [Dragging hands down own face] "I mean ... yeah. Sure. But it's so much fucking stupider than you're imagining it to be."
