When it comes to “traditionally geeky topics” I might have been looking for that stuff at most other points of my life. And if somebody gets into some dorky lore discussion on here today I might participate.
But for me, and I would wager it’s the same with MANY people on Lemmy, the last decade has made me very much not interested in filling my social interactions with banter about which billion-dollar global brands are the most dank.
As an example, I am still very interested in technology that I can learn about and do things with. I am very much not interested in products from tech companies.
Or in another area, I still have a soft spot for old Star Wars and especially Lucasarts games like TIE Figther and X-Wing Alliance. I will always keep my old copies of those and probably play them every several years. But I don’t even know what Star Wars content is in development right now.
