There have been several polls. We’re older and more female than you think.
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.
How female are you?
-75%
Hey, Imaginary Percentages, cool!
i%
To generate Complex Demographic on a Cartesian plane.
I’ve been feeling more female ever since I got here, but maybe there’s no correlation
Younger than 30yo the technical knowledge declines rapidly, so it’s very unlikely for them to be here.
Mileage will vary. I have gotten a lot better when it comes to tech (mainly software) in the past 3 years, as someone who is only in the middle of his 20s.
I too am in my mid 20s and I generally have gotten more tech literate in the last couple years, though mostly hardware since software is the devil.
I personally view hardware as the devil, so we’re kinda opposites in that regard.
Atleast when hardware decides to catastrophically fail it makes a lot of noise about it a solid chunk of the time.
I have a 5 digit slashdot id.
0-100 I believe
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).
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.
Things fascists say.
25-35
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.
I’m 34, maybe if you’re 23 and you climb on my shoulders
It’s probably wiser if you climb on the 23 year old’s shoulders instead. They don’t need ibuprofen for back pain yet
But there’s the falling part…
~13-50
Not sure, I’m mid thirties though
This few years are the largest single age years in us population. I think 34 is peak. In US at least.
Based on this poll with 599 participants from the german !ich_iel@feddit.org community, most of us are somewhere between 20 and 40 years old.
This is only a small fraction of lemmy users, maybe it just represents the age range of german meme enjoyers on lemmy, but I don’t know of any other poll with a sample size this big.
Yeah, prolly shifts older by 1 or 2 demographics, is my guess.
Two 13-15 year old users
Does Lemmy even have a minimum age or TOS?
Nope, Lemmy is just the software after all. It would be up to the individual instances to set up some kind of TOS or age verification.
Yea, Like lemm.ee have 16 years.
Also see stats from:
Which are pretty similar.
My steam account is nearly 20, lol
Had the same email address for 27 years…
Solid, and still your main? My Hotmail would be similar age, but it’s hardly used these days
My first browser was GOPHER.
85% neckbeards
Thanks, I almost forgot to shave 15% of my neck today!
i think we should poll in it
A/s/l (that’s much easier to type on a computer keyboard than a phone)
I’m 19!
Hi 19 I’m dad.
deleted by creator
I’m also 19
Wow 👌 👏
How…?
Not an expert but I believe it’s because they were born 19 years ago
Oh. Looks like I got whoooshed
It’s ok. It is, in my opinion, one of the lamest memes on the internet.
