There is natural overlap in ideology between the fediverse and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software so including Linux). The same principles apply like building something together without big corporations*. But that does lead to a rather narrow demography I'm afraid.
* I know a lot of big corporations ARE involved in the Linux kernel but I'm talking about the various distros in case of Linux.
im 16. probably in the 0.1% of fediverse users. i dont really use mastodon though, too boring for me
Yes.
27yo tech enthusiast and worker and linux user here
Im below 30 guess im young then 😅
I started back in the Wild West BBS days on the 80s; graduated to USENET in the 90s, website forums in the Web 1.0 days, /., Reddit, and now Lemmy. Yeah, I’ve been around. Been “Yaztromo” all that time too.
I don’t mind that “Eternal September” hasn’t infected this space yet — that’s a feature, not a bug!
I just joined lemmy and I am 20 and I am liking it here
My 15 yo ass
- 23, so no.
- Enthusiast, yeah, trying to get into tech for a job, but don't have the CS degree they all want.
- No, but not by choice. Not running Linux because I buggered my UEFI somehow, and so it won't allow me to boot from USB or switch to my Linux partition.
I think it's because early Millennials are near the peak of techiness, and the sort of person to switch to an open-source, decentralised, somewhat anti-commercial website is also the sort of person to use Linux. I'm early Gen Z, but fit the other two categories.

Edit: Sorry, thought this was the Bing.
We are always first on the new thing. It's completely normal growth
23 y.o. Indian medicine student(somewhat reluctant). Tech enthusiast(😮💨). I hate the official reddit app.
Guilty
Woo im glad to see so much diversity.
On a side note, I feel attacked.
3 for 3 here. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to disseminate and consume information/news, ask and answer questions, and learn things.
I'll have you know I am not (yet!) a Linux user. (Later this year, maybe.)
I gall into most of those categories.
That said, I still have a hard time dropping reddit until a network effect happens here or the multi-feddit stuff can start combining same-named subs across the fediverse.
I spent most of my time on Reddit looking at: various sports,cooking, finance (pf, investing, bogleheads), IT (sysadmin, vmware, homelab), gaming (console and PC and specific game subs), and PC hardware subs. (Plus some for sale places).
I wasn't really one to do much OC, but would participate in comment threads fairly often. I think lemmy/fed has potential, but it's going to need to be simpler for the average person to get logged in and just see the content they want with out jumping through a bunch of searches and hoops.
I'm 21 and even I feel old lol
I feel personally attacked...!
