We’re the invisible generation.

If Mastodon became as popular as Twitter it would end up with at least part of it being almost the same as Twitter. The main reason for the differences are that very different types of people are using the two platforms currently.

It’s how Twitter started. You followed people because they were your friends or had similar interests. It being a platform mainly for celebrities and influencers came later.

As a teenager I pirated everything, but that was mostly because I didn’t have the money to buy it anyway. These days I mostly use FOSS and buy things like games. That being said, my 11yo likes The Sims 4 and it is almost $1200 for everything so fuck EA.

Have they actually said it? I’ve always assumed .old wouldn’t be around forever. I’m sort of surprised it’s lasted as long as it has.
