I'm hitting the point of 'old' where I'm spending less and less time online, because my old places for communities are now dominated by people so much younger than me that we don't share cultural touchstones any more.
I don't really know where to find cool 50-somethings that aren't all anti-woke but also aren't all activist-24-7 either.
I didn't really see this coming, the Internet has always been my haven. Now it's kind of not.

@uncanny_kate@dice.camp I don't think this is an Internet thing so much as a living-through-a-time-of-crisis thing.

@uncanny_kate@dice.camp So many of our communities have been disrupted and co-opted. But the people are still out there. I am! It takes time to find and build them again, and the free ones (not owned and shittified by capitalists) are tiny, the technologies are still nascent. But they will grow, I still believe.
