I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

    Seriously, people past the age of 30 should not be on the internet. They should be on the golf course or playing shuffleboard or rotting away on a retirement ocean cruiseline somewhere.

    As an elder 40-something, I agree with you. Problem is, the economy doesn’t. I’ll be working until I die. In the meantime, I need the memes to help keep me numb to all the shit going in around me. Please don’t take those away from me. It’s all I have anymore.

    A lot of us are, yeah. Even with young whippersnappers like yourself fizzing around on your electrified skateboards and what have you, I'm pretty sure the average age here on Lemmy is closer to 40 than 30 🤷
