First of all, I don’t mean this post as a complaint, maybe more of a warning?
There is teenagers on the fediverse. Most of them don’t share their age, for hopefully obvious reasons. I’d say that a lot of the accounts which do a lot of posting/commenting are run by teenagers — because most adults probably wouldn’t have the time for that much posting.
While the young people of this generation are generally useless when it comes to something more complicated than microsoft word, the people who are good at technology, usually are very good at it.
most of my friends (most of which don’t know the difference between a laptop and a desktop) could understand the fediverse as a concept perfectly when I explained it to them irl.
So, if you’re in a really stupid argument with someone, try to remember that there is a small chance they are 14.
Why do you think teens are generally stupid?
As a teenager, I get in stupid arguments making stupid points because in my head, being right is important.
Look back at the shit you wrote as a teenager. We were all dumb.
So dumb. Also insanely naively hopeful/optimistic.
not teens, arguments (as in wasted effort to textually convince or defeat a faceless web foe) are usually stupid
When you age you always look at your previous self as dumber than your current self even if that isn’t true.
Teens also rarely have finished schooling so from a literal standpoint teens tend to not be as capable because they are learning still.
