I’m not that much older than you. Funny how the generation lines are drawn. And we’re both over 40, so it doesn’t matter anyway. Once you’re over the hill, it’s a moot point which decade you were born in… for a while.
I have a Piefed, I thought it would be so much different from Lemmy, but it’s just an older (looking/feeling) interface to the same communities. But I’m on RetroFed which tries to focus on retro computing/gaming. I rarely use it because it’s not that different an experience and I generally don’t like being two people on the same network/federation, it just feels disingenuous. If they don’t delete it for inactivity, I can use it if anything happens to this account.
The people who were in college circa 2004 were the first to rush into giving all of their personal data to large corporations online. They told Facebook their real name via their official school email address, school, location, interests, their romantic attachments and a map of their entire peer group for nothing.
