Don't really browse there much anymore, and I understand that it's been going mainstream, but it's weird to see multiple people talk to each other about shit that happened in the 60s and 70s. Used to be that someone would pop in once in a while with an anecdote for the younger crowd that they knew they were surrounded by.

  • this isn't to say that boomers can't be chill, but sharing a social space with them en masse would be kinda weird no?
  • also not suggesting that this is some sort of turning point, it's been shit since ever, and especially since 2015 (when I primarily browsed metareddit and by 2017 I was browsing r/cth exclusively)

Edit: The boomer infestation is coming from inside the Hexbear! See the comments below for details...

        Yes any circlejerk sub counts, as well as SRD, and a few years back the circlebroke subs used to be more active. The patriarch (matriarch?) of the family is r/SRS though
