Hi,

I’m an engineer in its late 30s and I sometime go to high-school talking about my job, my scholar background, etc… I remember being very stressed about my future at that time, so I try to tell them what I wish someone had told me 20 years ago.

If any teens are reading this (or people in contact with teens), what topics or advice would you want to hear from some random dude like me ?

Thanks for your help

ps: I know most of lemmy users are middle age, but there is no way I create account on shitktok, Insta or stuff.

    i don’t think there are many teenagers who wouldn’t be able to understand “people on these websites can all talk to each other unless the individual site admins decide they don’t want to”
    plus there are a lot of nerdy teenagers who would understand the un-simplified version perfectly fine

      You can explain it to them. The question is about learning it voluntarily.

      Also it’s way more than talking to eachother. Each instance is basically mirroring all other federated instances and syncing with the other instances all the time.
