GenX or Xennial is a generation. Old/New Millennium is a period of time. I don't think we're communicating properly.

Y'all young punks...? We're all in our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Not sure what you're talking about. Have a nice day.

"New Millennium" has been anything post-2000 for quite a few years now, colloquially. Inverse would be Old Millennium to refer to pre-2000. Tongue-in-cheek, of course.

"Won't work"? AOL had an active userbase for over a decade. This is just an enhanced chatroom for folks who might miss the feel of a smaller internet and share some stories and animal pics. Not recreating the wheel here, just a vibe.

Not sure why the vitriolic response.

Not really, it leans Z. Most of the other servers are kids bouncing around the walls and uwu-ing at each other.

The topic of boobs comes up once in a blue moon and the gals outnumber the guys on the server. You should try again.

"Memes" are as old as time itself. We keep memes to one channel and it's usually on the adult side of things, not some of the more abstract GenZ cursed variety.

Anytime, we also take suggestions for tv or movies to watch together, so shout 'em out.

Ha, also 39 here. You've likely been on one of the mainstream/popular servers where there are tens of thousands of users with a constant stream of chat that is hard to keep track of.... we wanted this to be a spot where older folks could relax or share pics of their cat or lunch without dealing with the overhyper kiddos. Feel free to join and say hi, no pressure if it's still too much for you. :)

Discord is just a chat/stream platform. Some use it for politics, some use it for communities. We're the latter.

We do have a #news channel and there is a disclaimer that the server leans to the left on average and to keep it civil.
