I am aware that fedi in general has an older user base than other social networks, but I’ve seen a few very upvoted posts recently that seem to blame young people for the current rise of fascism despite older generations still making up the vast majority of conservative and fascist voters in most countries.
Is this just a result of this being a bubble for older lefties not perceiving younger lefties or is there something else going on here?
I’d argue elders have shifted to fedi as it’s basicness and open structure feels like the old internet. No gimics, no monotisation etc.
And generally is a pretty easy going place.
However the more you use it the more you see factions and intolerance.
Are we mean to the young? I notice intolerance but tbh that’s really down to extreme chat.
