I’d say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.
Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.I’m 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?
Did you have to peg me that hard before we’ve even met
It’s my usual ice breaker.
There have been several polls. We’re older and more female than you think.
How female are you?
-75%
Hey, Imaginary Percentages, cool!
i%
To generate Complex Demographic on a Cartesian plane.
FEEEEMALE.
uh huh. That’s absolutely how women refer to themselves.
In that context it makes sense though, it’s being used as an adjective, as is “older”.
We’re not studying the breeding cycle of bats.
I would estimate
15% <25
60% 25-40
25% 40+
Y’all be showing your age sometimes 😅
Get off my lawn
Our lawn!
I’m old as fuck. I definitely show my age as often as possible.
I showed my age in public and now I’m on a list… I keep getting AARP mailers.
I’d agree with your breakdown. I’m early 40s and I feel like most people here are give or take 10 years of me
I’m 30, so naturally I assume everyone else is too
Pretty sure everyone in the world is either 30, 60 or a child.
31, assume the same
There’s at least one 57 year old.
Two.
Three.
Do we have to be 57? I just wanted to be part of a counting train.
0-100 I believe
As a serious answer, I’d guess Lemmy skews younger. Too many idealists here to think the average user base has the wisdom that comes from experience.
Sorry, younglings. You’ll know when you get older: the long view clearly demonstrates optimism is a lie. History is a corkscrew. Progress is made, but only through endless repetitions of past mistakes.
“Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over thirty who is not a conservative has no brains.”
That’s a limerick conservative parents tell themselves to feel better about their rebellious kids.
And not what I’m talking about at all.
Honestly, it had more validity behind it in the '80s. When you were just starting out your career you didn’t have a house yet you didn’t have any wealth amassed, The ideals of the left really shown through. But once you got older and started having some money, the fiscal Republican ticket sold you on tax cuts and provided boosts to help certain investment opportunities. It was still mostly just bullshit to make themselves rich but there was some financial opportunity there. It’s pretty much long gone for middle-class advantage anymore though.
Seems like a young crowd to me based on the often naive and idealistic post replies. OTOH, I’m very often surprised that so many seem my age (50s).
Reassessing after this week’s events, most of the users I would have previously guessed were high school sophomores are probably adult Americans.
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it’s very unlikely for them to be here.
I have a 5 digit slashdot id.
I think it varies greatly. The trans communities, for instance, seem to tread younger and I get the sense that many posters are teenagers. Tech communities, on the other hand, seem 30s-40s.
25-35
Not sure, I’m mid thirties though
I don’t want to be specific but I’m on the younger side of college age
