Boomer in like Facebook/tiktok is their final technology frontier.
My friends/circle (ages 19 - 72): 95% don’t know how to set up Adblock on desktop. 20% only use computers once a week. 5% use shortcuts like copy and paste. 30% of them buy iphones bc they find android too hard too bother with (I agree with this). 1% struggle with basic concepts like knowing if they are posting a status or DMing someone. Tho 10% trade stocks by themselves, so with sufficient motivation they could learn.
I have onboard 1 person irl and I had to walk them through it.
I rate the fediverse as 0/10 for assessibility to boomers but have not tried the whole fediverse
The ratio of people i find through fedi who are 20+ vs 35+ (my assumption through their pfps) is 4:6 tbh
For the record, there are millennials who are now in their early forties.
