Who do you think your fellow lemmies are?

    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.

      Don’t let the communists hear you say that

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

      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

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

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

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

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

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

    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?

    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.

    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.
