Hot take that shouldn't be hot:
Younger generations are not "not on the fedi because they don't remember a time when the internet wasn't a bunch of platforms controlled by corporations".
When they're not on the fedi, it's because the fedi is full of olds with condescending attitudes towards them, and they've already found ways to survive and communicate with more like-minded people despite the platforms being shit.
The truth is simpler than the conspiracy: they're not on the platform because that's not where there peers are, and there's no advertising or other evangelism constantly telling them they'll miss out if they aren't there.
And - that's fine. I have to admit, I'm very confused by the attitude that if everyone isn't on mastodon it's somehow a failure, or indeed that we even want everyone here. Big crowds bring trouble with them. We left a lot of those people behind on purpose. Is that condescending? Then fine - we condescend. The world isn't made for you, I hope you find somewhere else you are happy.
@tbortels Fuck off, I'm here to welcome ppl not tell them it's fine if this place isn't for them because we're assholes.
