Theory: Older people aren't worse at discovering or using new technology. UIs are just worse at conveying function/intent
Some evidence:

"Beginning users and many intermediates relied almost exclusively on visible cues for finding commands. They relied on (and found intuitive) menu bars and tool bars, but did not use pop-up (or “context”) menus, even after training."
"All but the most advanced users did not understand how to manage overlapping windows efficiently."
Why is her #ass so big? It's full of secrets.

That instance had been running a block reporting bot for several months prior to the recent inflammation of that issue.
The admin has informed us that it is no longer active. This is a step in the right direction.
It is not enough to win back our trust, so vulpine.club will not be refederating with the instance at this time.
The Fediverse operates upon trust. And when that trust is breached it is not easy to reclaim.
Even when the block bot is a tool for showing a flaw in Mastodon's block protocol when working against bad actors, it is hardly excusable to deploy such a demonstration when the concern about such tools is that they enable harassment.
Keep this in mind when considering engaging in similar 'activism'.
why is my #ass so fat, you ask? extra bones
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
