    I’m 62, which is embarrassingly old to be effing around on the fediverse.

    But I just want to say these octogenarians can’t possibly represent me.

    It’s partly their age.

    But to me wealth is the more corrupting factor. Some of these people have never had a real job, or at least in decades.

    I’m both hoping to work until I’m 70 or die sooner.

    These rich assholes can’t represent anyone except other rich assholes.

        Yeah I’m realizing the fediverse feels so homey because it seems dominated by people old enough to remember the internet of the 90s, the ones that knew AOL was not the entire internet or even ‘web’ proper. We’re already acclimated to an internet where ‘discoverability’ took a little more elbow grease.

      I am in my thirties and see the decisions these people are making will ensure that I never get to “retire”. It partly their age but mostly their wealth, does Glitchy Mitch have to worry about money, fuck no. You be be sure that he is going to horde all the wealth he can and do his best to look like the Pale man from Pans Labyrinth
