I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook.

I skipped those, but I’m about to ruin whatever new platform my kids get in to.

A lot of us are, yeah. Even with young whippersnappers like yourself fizzing around on your electrified skateboards and what have you, I’m pretty sure the average age here on Lemmy is closer to 40 than 30 🤷

Implying we aren’t mostly disgruntled boomers here.

I’m pretty sure we’re mostly disgruntled Millennials and Gen-X’ers.

Anyhow, it looks like TikTok might finally be heading towards some sort of ban or regulation in the US, so maybe it’ll get killed by the Boomers but in a different way.

I can’t wait to log in to the newest gamer platform only to engage in trash talk with a select group of boys. Three of them, to be exact.

“I fucked your mom!”
“Dad, go away…”
