I have the feeling that people in the Threadyverse are on average younger than on Mastodon.

My assumption is:

  • Mastodon: 30 - 45
  • Lemmy, /kbin: 25 - 40

There are polls like that on Mastodon whichvpoint to that, but I haven't seen any on the Threadyverse.

Did we all forget the first rule of going online, to never share personal information, especially on a public forum!

[–] Bjoern_Tantau@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that would be stupid.

Nothing wrong with sharing your age range, like 25 - 30, 30 - 35, etc.

I’m old enough to know how to use a rotary phone and a paper map

Paper maps... Man

I'm the same age as my tongue, and a bit older than my teeth

[–] andarwaid@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

You're overestimating Mastodon. I'd say both are closely similar in demographics.

Just turned forty, don't work in tech. Yeah, I know I'm the weirdo here.

Though it does seem so far like lemmings act less teenaged than redditors.

Seems like the transmission was damaged.

[–] s6original@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

None of the above.

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 3 points 2 years ago

I would actually expect Lemmy to be on the older end - it'll be the older people who remember what social media was like before the term "social media" was a thing.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

As old as the universe, baby. I am stardust.

[–] 6368_39162@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Old enough to have had a computer that ran cassette tapes and drink driving wasn’t illegal
