I bet if the kind of things happening in the US happened in China, I wouldn’t be able to stop hearing about it. I mean, people are still criticizing the Tiananmen Square massacre, and hasn’t anything happened since then? It’s like still making conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s assassination or 9/11, those are old news.
Did you block the Star Trek communities? Serious question, just because you hit all the other big lemmy things.
I’m not a super fan, but I fuck with the next generation, but I don’t know many people younger than me (early thirties) who are into it (or were before the last couple of years of new series). That alone skews the age demographic for my head canon, but I don’t know if it’s especially based in reality.
No, I haven’t blocked any Star Trek specific communities (unless they are on the .ml, .grad, or hexbear instances). I only have seen the TenForward community in any regularity. But I do realize a sizable amount of Lemmy users are also Trekkies. Its just that the other demographics are larger, so I left Trek out.
Young people are into Star Trek, but usually only because their parents were cool enough to introduce them to it.
