      Boomers and certainly gen X/older milenials are probably more into tinkering and getting it working…it guides for zoomers with their point and click tablet/ipad interface or SaaS that need guides.

      As a youth of the late 80s I know bbs, forums, etc

        I would not include boomers but I get what your saying. Gen z isn’t a monolith though and neither is Gen x. Some people are techies and won’t have a problem figuring out the fediverse. Non techie “normies” will probably get confused and write it off unless it becomes more accessible. Good thing apps are coming!

      Create guides for boomers

      lol. Babyboomers and Gen X invented and built the internet. We programmed VCR’s and could navigate dial-up settings for v90modems. Maybe write a guide for gen Z, as anything more complex than a swipe is too much technology for them XD

        I feel there’s more nuance to this and this is an inaccurate and disingenuous generalisation.

        A very small portion of baby boomers and gen x were involved in this compared to the masses who simply exist as sheep.

        The “enlightened” ones are a minority in every generation from what I can see.

        I also feel this whole my generation > your generation is just another mechanism of segregation. Instead let us bring forth our collective knowledge of setting VCR times and laugh about getting to the last floppy/stiffy disk in a set and finding corruption because… magnets.

        Heck, genXers are the only generation who can set the clock on a VCR. A skill now lost to time and technology.
