Fediverse

But, perhaps the difference is generational. I haven’t spoken to very many people about this, but what I have noticed is a shift over time from menus to feeds on the internet. Forums are dying. Users don’t want to scroll search results, they want an AI to just give them the answer. And the difference seems to be generational. Perhaps informed by our early experiences with online platforms. It certainly cannot be an absolute distinction, but a correlation seems evident from the state of the world.

Extrapolates a distinction between number of questions and answer based on age from a tiny data set, acknowleeges large scale changes over time that applies to all ages, offhandedly mentions the actual reason (early experiences with the internet), then goes back to random speculation.

What a terribly incoherent article. Capitalizing 'Mine' made it a struggle. Why didn't they capitalize 'ours' for consistency? If I was tha author I would assume it was because of generational self centeredness or something, because everything needs to be generational conflict!

I don't agree at all with the author's approach. I'm a millennial and I came to Reddit around 2019-2020, using it a lot since the pandemic, I prefer the new reddit a thousand times. It's not a question of interpreting the site as questions, it seems like a nonsense to me. It's a matter of making everything more visual, I don't stop to read the title, the community or the author, at a glance I see the vast majority of the post, if I consider it I see the rest of the information, most of the time I ignore the information, because I don't care.

I would like to remind you that Instagram (the example given in the article) is mostly used by millennials.

What I didn’t expect was what My friend said after making a Lemmy account on her chosen website — “I don’t like it because it looks like Old Reddit. I have to click on each post to view it”.

Sometimes people tell you something and it just ends a friendship...

I really hate that that writer capitalizes every instance of 'Me', 'My', 'Mine', etc... it changes my internal inflection when reading, and really fucks up the flow of the text.
