This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is precisely the thing I've noticed recently. You make a statement like yours and suddenly people start crying about not generalizing or how there's really no such thing as generations and whatever other nonsense. Frankly, I don't think that too many people over the age of 50 are on Lemmy yet so I think that there are some people who just want to be contrary taking the chance to.
