Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Web 3 isn't real, it's a marketing term made up by grifters
web 1 static, web 2 dynamic
Right, right..
web 3 creative
Oh, is that what the kids are calling it nowadays.
Never heard about "gen alpha" either, let alone any of the later ones.
@zoe I like the "forgotten generation" for us Xers. I am policy adjacent in the public sector and we occasionally laugh about how there has never been a policy or program directed at X.
thus posts like this are made so someone expert like yours @rogermexico@mas.to could help point out the the context of certain denotations. thank you :)
Just another way to divide people
Generational distinctions are a useful heuristic in assessing an individual’s shared experience, but they are not dispositive. Think of how many subcultures for baby boomers exist.
That group in the US experienced the sexual revolution, second wave feminism, the Cold War, the Vietnam War…
But also Reaganomics, stagflation, the dot com boom, 9/11.
The Individual’s reaction and lived experience shapes their Selves, but it’s still useful to know where they were in their lives during those events.
Something I've always kind of been curious about is it just the year that you were born in that matters?
Yes, it’s tied to year. The folks who are on the borders of generations often find themselves torn between experiences.
I have a lot of friends born in 79/80. They often use the term Xennial instead of X or Millennial. “An analog childhood but a digital adulthood”
Sometimes I hear of Gen X including right up to 82 or 83
Yeah that's kind of where I'm at
Yes
