It feels like the same Reddit crowd from when I was in college (2011). So I’m guessing we skew towards millennials, early Gen Z folks. Definitely more tech oriented than other platforms that’s for sure. Also just as liberal as Reddit. There is a much larger focus on privacy here as well.

just as liberal as Reddit.

Don't let the communists hear you say that

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

I don't think I even know what a liberal is anymore.

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Are you the conductor of the poop train?

Elders of the Internet…. Wait the Elders of the Internet know who I am???

As a gen Jones, I see nothing but children. The recent uproar about avoiding open piracy seems to bear that out.

[-] teft@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

What would piracy have to do with age? Pirates run the gamut from preteens to elderly.

[-] Xaphanos@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

In my experience, older folks see software/artistic piracy as less morally desirable.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Older folks generally have more money

I'm not even sure if zoomers know what a torrent is

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago

I suspect 30ish (+/- 10) males mostly

[-] Little8Lost@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think i saw somewhere a statistic that supports your claim. And when i remember correctly there was a higher % of woman than on reddit, but i looked at the statistic like a month ago so take it with a grais of salt. Or two

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

IT males from their 40s to 60s.

[-] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'm an IT male in my 20s. Do I count ?

[-] Quazatron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Of course you do, little buddy! Don't knock yourself down. Chin up, sport!

As a Gen Z'er, I can really feel the Millennial vibes permeating throughout Lemmy

[-] radix@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Gen X'ers getting ignored as usual. But we like it that way.

Linux users, and people who have not yet become linux users

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's a little like saying everything in the universe is either a potato or it isn't.

[-] axzxc1236@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

People that switched from Reddit.

[-] puddlexplorer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human.

The rest of us are AI experiments trying to see if we can pass the Squander trial of the Turing test. How's it going so far?

[-] Squander@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I knew it brb

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

The only strong guess that comes to my mind is that most people on Lemmy are Western European. I say this because it always seems to be who gets to a fresh new place first. Before the Twitter boom, Twitter was very Euro-centric.

[-] Izzy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

As a Gen Y human I feel Lemmy appeals to my traditional forum sensibilities while being slightly streamlined. People used to host forums because they wanted to and not as a means to generate revenue.

@Squander Let us peel away your petty facades and reveal you for what your truly are!!!


fairly attractive 20-somethings, apparently.

[-] vita_man@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddlin' kids

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I'm a twenty year old fascist
