I feel like I'm not on either internet because I have no idea about anything they are talking about. XD But youtube, beehaw, and formerly reddit were as far as I go on social media.
Me too. I felt really puzzled by this article.
I think the weird thing in this article was that they framed it to be a universally girl or boy internet. Probably an effect of the cishet privilege to always be the default option. And I can imagine that 'normal' people actually do get a more of an default experience divided into binary genders. A bit like people who just use whatever OS that is on their computer (Windows or macOS) and don't use an adblocker...
