The language of the blog post is extremely bitter, self-aggrandizing and mocking, and points out hypocrisy that isn't there -- it's just multiple different groups of people who enjoy different things. There are zoomers that chat in XMPP, subscribe to RSS feeds and use other decentralized tech, and there are many that are not, there are those who enjoy frutiger aero look and feel and there are many that do not, and these groups may or may not overlap. You complain about being banned from some discord for advocating the use of XMPP, and I really can't blame them if you came there with the same tone and ego that you put on display with this post.

If you want people to listen to you and want to spread the values of decentralization and freedom you shouldn't be pouring hot oil on them from your ivory tower and then complain about how they are so dumb to mistreat and misunderstand you.

It seems like a quite common character flaw to not be aware of this. Like, be it subcultures, nationalities or party members that are critiqued for not being coherent or assumed being coherent. But commiting the fallacy about a generation seems even more silly.

Matrix using, RSS subscribing zoomer here!
