In my opinion, part of what I think the message by liberals should’ve been for the last 10 years is not to just vote early and often, but to actually run for office. I can easily see how the critical deterioration of the average person’s mental health would make it challenging to reach this end. Our understanding of mental health still leaves so much to be desired

I’m Gen-Z too. To some extent I agree with other people on here that, for broader discussions about certain topics, it doesn’t really matter what age you are in order to contribute to the conversation, which I feel is one of the strengths of this format of social media.

I also agree with you too that it doesn’t feel like there’s a space carved out by others from our generation on the fediverse yet. Growing up in such a dramatic period of technological change and global turmoil is something that we all have in common and has fundamentally affected our perspectives and our personal identities. I’d love to be a part of a community if you or anyone decides to begin cultivating one.
