    yeah and for a lot of people who’d be using lemmy, the reason they weren’t aware of all this shit is our parents kept us safe from it

      I mean - I probably got to live the very best of the 90s Americana as a suburban kid with an old computer and a modem in it.

      I still saw a lot of shit going on in the world. I mean … AIDS pandemic, anyone? Remember fear around shaking someone’s hand?

      Sometimes I think the problem is that at any GIVEN time, like 2/3 of people aren’t paying attention to what is happening outside their own immediate experience.
