Being a Boomer, I thought that I would finally participate in the "Internet Frontier" after watching countless hours 'Captain Titus Frost' who can be found on many channels in the cyber world. The adventures of sailing the internet seas with Captain Titus Frost has awakened me to the misconceptions of my limited knowledge from the abundant hours of being programed by the traditional television, newspapers, and periodicals. The newly exposed big tech censorship has motivated me to get involved to enlighten and expand my knowledge before everything is either, re-written, destroyed, censored, in order to meet the uniformity of the "masters of programming'" and a controlled narrative. I may be apprehensive to what may be discovered during my journey, however, at least I have the initiative to begin my travels.
I have finally pulled the plug on the controlled broadcasted airwaves and am seeking new adventures and enlightenment on the constantly expanding internet. May my new journey reward me with meeting new people in the cyberworld who have like-minded principles and beliefs who strive for FREEDOM and seek knowledge and wisdom.
GODSPEED ,
The MAL-Informed BOOMER
Yes, I think I finally figured this out as well. Thanks
Hello @malinformedboomr! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome!
And while I'm technically GenX by a handful of months, I have to say it's nice to have another boomer-aged member of the community. I don't believe I've bumped into @titusfrost before although I recognize his name (and just realized he's a New Englander like me) but glad to hear he's inspired you to give this blockchain community a whirl!
Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. Based on what you've said, I think you might be interested in checking these out -

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
In addition, since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the Gift Giver site.
If you have questions, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!

Wonderful to have you here! Great mal informed boomer. I like that.
I started my journey unplugging too (a while ago now). Its a hero's journey, no doubt. But as all good adventure stories, worth it in the end..
Good luck on your travels and I look forward to hearing more on your encounters down the road.
