Do you know what's their generation equivalent of shashdot / hacker news? This forum clearly seems to be getting "old".

Reddit, I think.

I'm right in that age category and use both Reddit and HN. I would say your guess is right that most people my age use Reddit as their Slashdot. Both provide good insights but I feel the discussion is usually more useful in HN, although this depends on the subreddit.

Generally I go on reddit when I'm looking for a quick distraction and HN is for when I'm looking to read things a bit more deeply.

I feel like HN is something you age into.

I don't think it necessarily has an aging demographic.

When I was in college, the information on Reddit related to programming and computers was relevant. As I've gained experience, the information on Reddit has gradually become less and less useful. To the point that I don't even bother following tech-related subreddits anymore.

I'm 26 and I can't for the life of me understand the appeal of tiktok, my girlfriend who's a few years younger than me likes it, we'll be sitting on the couch and she'll be watching videos and I just don't get it. On the flip side, she doesn't really like reddit which a site I use almost daily - to each their own I guess.

Tiktok is the first app or piece of technology or whatever you want to call it that made me feel "old", up until now I've been able to pick up on new trends and things that are popular with ease, I used Facebook early on, Instagram when it became popular and snapchat too but tiktok just didn't stick. I guess it's a small sign of things to come as I get older.

Sure.

I mean, many people don't like video games, so they probably also don't like playing Fortnite.

I liked Vine, it had funny videos. Tiktok seems to be more like IG for videos, not my cup of tea.

On the other hand, IG became more interesting when I found comic accounts, maybe that's a way I could go with tiktok, haha
