    Yeah, unlike us enlightened folks who spend all of our time either on Reddit or Lemmy!

    Yeah meta pulled a sneaky on them: “Dear Mrs. Boomer, we can show you pics of your distant relative’s babies for the feeble price of your soul.” “Where do I sign?”

    Them refusing to go on the internet for so long while it evolved into what it is today is probably a big part of the reason why they’re easy to fool today but let’s not kid ourselves, extremists born from social media aren’t all boomers, the misogynistic movement we see growing today is mostly people under their mid thirties.

    Meanwhile genz and millenials think they are ultra capable and still mob target harassment and bullying innocent people online until they commit suicide. I haven’t seen a boomer try too SWAT anyone for giggles yet.

    Given that my mom is on it 24/7 doing the most dumb “personal quizzes” that probably got her account hacked, it seems like they’re going to take facebook to the grave at this rate.

    Like a lot of things from their generation, they were projecting things that they would do, onto others instead.

      I’ve seen several to the opposite, that they were more susceptible to misinformation like Fox News

        Tbf I noticed a lot of millennials and genz are really bad at generalizing boomers into one category and fail at knowing when exactly boomers were born. I’ve seen genz call millennials boomers. They aren’t exactly shining examples of common sense or any real information that is usable for anyone. Just online cat fights.
