I've just been wondering what the SA for the zoomer generation is. What's the niche zoomer media that's currently on top but will eventually wither away into a shadow of its former self only inhabited by mid 30s/early 40s zoomers.

I think Reddit has some staying power unless an alternative comes up.

Are there niche internet hangouts or have they all been successfully herded into a handful of products and any niches take place within that limited corporate context? For example there's no site for baby witches, there's baby witch tiktok.

Discord? I always hear people talking about it but never used it. I guess snapchat and Twitter go here too.

I think there are some mastodon users out there too - it's kind of filling a "twitter, but cool and underground and decentralised" niche.

Yeah I don’t think there is an underground for the new generation. The kid that started Birds aren’t Real! Meetups had a loving 60 minutes segment on him and his friends. The idea of avoiding popular online communities is probably foreign to them.

Treecko posted:Discord? I always hear people talking about it but never used it. Discord isn't really a community or a group identity. Old chat clients like AIM or IRC might've had something like that going on, but Discord's pretty much just... a way for people who met somewhere else to all talk together, mostly about whatever brought them together in the first place. You can't really look at, well, anything and go "Hmmm, yeah, that's definitely from Discord!" Blurry Gray Thing fucked around with this message at 04:59 on May 7, 2022 |

discord is twitter, except if twitter was good and actually allowed communities to form edit: also, unlike basically all other social media, it has no ads except the occasional pitch to buy discord nitro subscription at the top of the client. but not like, embedded in the messages.

I remember connecting to my local BBS on my 8088 with a lightning fast 2400 baud modem where I could type in green text to up to 15 other live users at a time! Mostly we talked about how to prevent cave bear attacks and our fear of dying from consumption.

SA isn't what it used to be, but there are (non porn) subreddits that are 10x the forums size. Its vaguely interesting that these large subreddits turn out proportionally less good content; Top Post Of All Time end up being people who randomly hit it out of the park on their first at bat, and with all of the worthless and frustrating unmoderated white noise its impossible to develop into a Good Poster. I dont really go on Tumblr but its my understanding their community is tight knit and they've also done a lot of real good in the world. For whatever its worth, this dumb website has swung way outside of its weight class when it comes to direct social action (good and bad  )

SA was influential at a time when normal people didn't know about, care about, or use the Internet.

Tumblr already had its exodus - in the 2010s, it was pretty much the female youth culture spot, and the genesis of the online trans/identity movement that is now mainstream started there - they all went to college and moved to Twitter though, so tumblr fits the bill

Is tumblr not mostly millennial though? Although there's some overlap zoomer is generally the child of a millennial.

Tumblr is probably the closest equivalent in that it was a site that had mass appeal during a certain era in Internet history, hit a wall and shed a fuckton of users but was kept alive by a much smaller but dedicated group of lifers who clung to the community that had developed there and created their own unique form of posting culture that's somewhat of a relic in today's Internet but still recognizable to those in the know and quietly influential in its own way.

Tumblr's heyday was like ten years ago. I don't think zoomers were browsing that poo poo when they were infants.

Mass internet media culture post 2010 has blended zoomers in nearly seamlessly with twitter, tumblr, facebook. etc dominating internet conversation. Vine was probably one of the first platforms to make millennials feel old because zoomers grasped the meme foundation built by millennials and immediately built upon it with direct, easily consumable videos and it was pretty revolutionary.
