    Even the young people are nostalgic for a time when new technology was actually cool rather than mostly being a way to more effectively use everyone’s data against them.

    There’s also that 30-year cycle phenomenon where things from 3 decades ago become trendy again, like how 80s stuff got more popular again in the 2010s.

      That also probably drives the Fediverse’s adoption as well because people are tired of getting walled in by hostile corporations.

      I can confirm this as a young person fascinated by the (so far, Apple) tech from the late 2000s and early 2010s.

        I thought anyone under 30 wouldn’t have had experienced any of the cool tech but I guess things were pretty fun until the early 2010s.
