Is it relevant? Yes. It just takes TIME.

When I was first invited on Facebook ten years ago (by my college aged son, as soon as it was opened to more than college students), I was the lone geezer in a sea of Millennial hormones and sass. I found following such groups as “I Am Fluent in Sarcasm” and “I Hate Rachael Ray With the Heat of a Thousand Suns” to be irreverent and interesting. It was also a peephole into the mind of the young, and far easier to peep than going to the local library and sitting in the teen section reading Teen Cosmo.

It took more than a few years before all my friends found Facebook - after they had spent those years mocking me and that of my MySpace and Facebook accounts. Now look at the place — it’s a such a sinkhole of the elderly that the “young” won’t use it anymore — they’ve moved on to other platforms.

Like you, I am also currently weighing Medium as a viable outlet, but that has more to do with Medium and less to do with Midcentury Modern. I happen to LIKE MM, it’s just that I don’t have time to devote to it right now. But I feel your frustration. I’ve been on sites like Medium before. You write to get page views or street cred. There are cliques and trolls. You might not get how the inside works (I certainly don’t ‘get’ Medium - completely). Many of these sites have failed, or have lost their usefulness for me, and I move on.

I hope you stay with it. We curmudgeons have to stick together.
