My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I dislike and distrust short form video based social media. But that seems to be the common response.

IDK if I even consider that an "old person" trait though because there are lots of Zoomers that seem to hate it to. Though I wonder if that's because generational cultures are melding together more because of the internet.

Idk, im a "cusper" (coming of age right as the internet was going from wild west to the web 2 of today) and I've always hated the idea of social media in general. Forums or message boards are the one thing I like, but FB/Insta/TT doesn't interest me in the slightest.

You're probably correct about the internet melding the generational response, but there's always going to be people who just don't like something even if they grew up with it.
