Is Gen X invisible on the internet though?

It's a big place, maybe we just go to different places. I mean, I'm a late Xer (44) and I've been using the internet more or less every day since 1996, including some social media and especially Reddit/Lemmy.

I rarely use most social media now (stopped using FB in 2015, stopped using Instagram a few years ago, stopped using Twitter when it became X), except for work, but I hang out here and on a couple of old-style forums (sports), and mostly I read the news and sport, watch videos that I find interesting, and so on.

However if, by the internet you mean things like TikTok, then nah, it's not my thing. I've no problem with it (other than general issues with the Chinese government) but I don't bother with it, nor complain about it.

And I think that's fine, we don't all have to be in all the same places all the time - it's good to interact between perceived generational boundaries (one of the best things about the Reddit/Lemmy model IMO), but it's also good to have areas which are more concentrated with one group or another. It's healthy and natural I think.

I also think that while the people who are fucking up the world are often Boomers, it's important not to invert that and castigate all Boomers as if they are all the same. Plenty of them are as progressive, patient, open-minded, or whatever, as those of us in the younger generations.

And plenty of those in X, Y, Z, etc are bigoted, ignorant and/or hateful in the way Boomers are painted.
