MODERATORS
They were called that before covid, I think it’s just gen z+boomer
This is correct.
It came into popularity beginning in 2018. Wikipedia.
I only started hearing the term well after COVAIDS.
I very clearly remember it from before then. I was like “zoomer, that’s a stupid name” prior to the pandemic.
It’s actually why I’m here, because it had never once occurred to me that it could relate to Zoom, because “zoomer” predates Zoom being used by gen z
