  • Gen thing is pretty simple. People from that particular gen get used to doing things in a way that is famous in their gen. They see what the other people are doing in their age and copy them to feel more inclusive.

    PCs were famous and trendy in previous generation. Now it’s mobile phones. This is why we see gen z not being able to operate PC like their phones and previous gen not being able to do the vice versa. Pretty simple concept imo.

    Coming to second part of your message, yes I’m trying to be in on these long form media and this is why I started to post on Lemmy lot recently. But also I have feeling there are people like me who could match my enthusiasm who are worth finding and for the rest of the people I’ll try to send smaller texts as many have advised here 👍













  • I knew a woman on FB who thought that “thumbs upping” her comments was somehow offensive.

    Online texting/interactions do cause a lot of misunderstanding especially when you are talking to someone who is not very online.

    My friend wasn’t that simple though, she kept insisting that she didn’t care if I texted or not. Now that I think about it, I am not very sure to text her back.




  • I used to have an online friend who never really texts me first unless I do. Since they’re a leftie, I wished them on Happy Left-handers Day and they replied that I don’t need to wish them, which I only did to spark some conversation. This put me off and I went “Alr I won’t bother texting you ever” and they went “Ok”.

    Haven’t texted them in 3 months, neither did they (as they don’t ever). Idk who is the idiot here, me, she or both.

    I don’t really like ending friendships from my side, so I might text them on her birthday and see how it goes.
