I resemble that remark! Dang, you might be right. If so, well ... that's good and bad as others have said. Can we do surveys on Lemmy?
I don't fit that demographic whatsoever, but I am a tech nerd and a Linux user.
The fediverse is mostly full of FOSS enthusiasts, which happens to heavily include linux users.
That's what attracted me to the fediverse in the first place, all the linux people.
The old people are people who grew up before Facebook and corporate social media, as such have no loyalty to said platforms.

According to this poll, fediverse definitely skews older. There's some sample bias for whoever is in this guy's circles, but I think it's relatively valid.
30 years old or older
I'm 23

Yeah….. :/
Completely agree, and I fit all three on the list. While a lot of new users have come in recently, the fediverse isn't as mainstream as the centralized services that everyone knows about. Also, young people will sign up for services they're friends are on.
