    • The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

    Enjoy. Less echo bubbles. This goes in both directions, but mainly I value that younger people are able to be part of “mature conversations”. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to underestimate your worldview or anything. It’s just that I’m remembering when I was around your age, the Internet was in a raw form, and it felt much like this. I was amazed to be able to talk with other adults and learn about their tastes on say books or movies when I joined some theme specific chat channel (via protocol IRC). At some point this changed drastically (e.g. Facebook connecting people from real life/ schools)… and I think nowadays TikTok, Insta, and for the most part, even YouTube are just centered around being young, pretty… very much like mainstream TV.

    (Can I patronize? should be funny to point out that) ackshually, ducks are birds regardless of what they’re eating. Like, at all times. Same happens with Penguins, Ostrich, and… Mmm… other birds! gotcha!! Can’t say the same with Velociraptors :P
