He goes off on stuff randomly. It might be a Gen X kinda vibe tbh. He's likely a long time Twitter user and has been thru it where it was really toxic.

Yeah. I don't mean to suggest it's an age thing... but like... boomers and Gen Xers seem to gravitate toward the toxic mudslinging on Twitter seemingly more than Millennial and even more so than Gen Zers. Just an observation.

As a boomer this comment surprised me, but I'm ignorant of the whole twitter dynamic. My gen Z daughter agreed with you.

I know right? A quick ponder and you'd likely think it's the opposite.
Gen Z and Millennials got more formal education on the internet and cuberbullying, internet safety, misinformation etc. It's in most curriculums. Plus they're digital natives.
Boomers on the other hand were just given this tool without any reference really of its power etc. So the ability to engage 1v1 in real time was revolutionary.
Tech savy boomers obv caught on well. But many had a harder uptake.
