Agreed. Reddit became horrible once everyone got on it.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Eternal September comes to every platform at some point.
The amount of generational hate and is really ridiculous… I don't consider myself a kid with 21, but seriously, I'm happy if younger people join here and also embrace this space. And just acting as if everyone of a specific age would be the same is… oof
I don't see it as hate. I love kids, I love interacting with kids and want them to have wonderful spaces both online and off, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying adult-only spaces as well.
Im literally twice your age and just landed here. How do you feel about older generations showing up?
It's great :D
Welcome on board, I hope you'll like it here :)
man. i hope there would be an age barrier to those or something, or they be periodically flagged so they dont spread around. i had enough of kids and shitposters. is this heaven
we have to commit to our duty as users of the community if we want it the way we like it
hot take but nobody under 18 should be allowed on any form of social media or internet forum
but there's no way to enforce that. better solution is to just get rid of all social media

If you want, we can all pretend to be kids just like on /r/teenagers.
That place was so creepy.
Typical /r/ teenagers post:
Oh my god I think this girl likes me but idk I might be gay does that make me bi?

I don't think that's the problem. I think it's mostly because it still has way less people (easier to mod), and also it doesn't show user karma, so there's no incentive to karma farm.
