Still new, but:
- No (or less) hissyfit powermods
- Less strict, hopefully no stupid bans
- More privacy respecting
- More tightly knit
- Better front page, Reddit is just stale as of now
Gen Z (2006) here, I definitely grew up with the internet since I was born after it became mainstream for the public. Before learning about the internet I was restricted to an iPod which I got when I was a little older than 5 years old which was restricted to a few games, ones of those were minecraft. My only exposure to the internet at the time was going to my grandmas where I would watch minecraft videos on her TV or play games on her laptop. This is when I first grasped the concept of the internet, in which I didn’t see it as an information library at the time but more so easy fun since I wasn’t “really” on the internet. I was like 10 when I started using social media, but even then most of it was just YouTube and later Reddit.
I’m pretty impressed by the collection of knowledge the internet has, it’s definitely a step up from the community library I went to when I was a kid but now I only go so often. More so in my early teenage years I mostly used the internet for communication since I was mainly on mainstream social media platforms. Nowadays, I mostly use less mainstream platforms because I was blind to how corporate and monetized the internet was for the past two decades. I also use archive.org a lot to watch anime, movies, and read pdfs since I don’t have to pay for the real thing. The internet does have an upside, and I would say my favorite part of the internet is its convenience. As for my internet usage, my parent’s didn’t really care, lol.

Not allowing 20 character passwords is criminal, my bank does this.
Not a boomer, but squirrels are pretty much just tree rats that make loud noises, could be the cause.
