Hi all! I have just created !boomersbeingfools@lemmy.world for a place to share stories

about boomers

being fools.

I am not a moderator on the subreddit, nor am I affiliated with the subreddit-- however I am open to their mods coming over here and joining the team as well.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season! <3

Edit: Tried making MillennialsBeingFools (or variations) as well and was unable to.

    forgive my naivety, how does such a community avoid promoting ageism?

      It doesn’t. Lemmyverse seems to respects/enjoys certain biases and this is one.

        Replace “Lemmyverse” with “the American left” and you’re closer to the truth.

        • The American left is against racism … yet harbours an alarming amount of antisemitism and an increasing amount of sinophobia.
        • The American left is against ageism … directed at young people. Old people are open season.
        • The American left is against religious bigotry … except Christians. . . .

        It’s just tribalism cosplaying as idealism. (And it’s why, for example, Chinese LGBT groups have been quietly removing themselves from interaction with American LGBTQA+ groups over the past few years.)
