  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's why I like Lemmy, it's a safe space for Millennials and Gen X. Neither the boomers or yooths can figure out how to make an account without downloading it from the app store.

I'm gen z and go on Lemmy exclusively through an app.

Did you make an account through the app?

Most apps have a front-end for the register form, so they could have done it through an app easily.

There's probably more gen z here than you think

Some days it feels like everyone on this site is in middle school.

Gen Z here, after creating my mastodon account on an infosec instance and using that for a while, I found out about Lemmy and ditched reddit for good. So after registering on a smaller furry instance through my browser and trying a couple of different apps, I ended up here... not all of us are dumb ipad kids. Don't get me wrong either, most of my generation are indeed a bunch of skibidi-brains... but there's some hope anyways. I think. If we survive the civil unrest, climate change, the coming world war, and the general ignorance of the vast majority of our generation.... ok maybe we are fucked. I guess we can thank the boomers together for that.

You think we are that dumb? 😭 (GenZ)

Ha! You're a baby! Hey everyone, come look at this baby!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Gen Z are quite dumb. Some of them suggested me to modify my game engine to be able to be ran from a browser, I politely decline every time (I still need to move the rendering from the CPU to the GPU, since I figured out how to do retro pixel-perfect graphics, all with color lookup).

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Kinda... yeah.

Old people suck!
