I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That’s not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don’t seem to fit that.

    I assumed they’re all on the gaming and meme communities. Oh, and porn.

    Just wondering why this seems nicer than r/ and thought maybe it was less young people.

    We know you’re not 14 because …

    1. Punctuation
    2. 14 yr olds don’t know they’re snotty. 🙃

      I was very interested in learning, during my youth. Not just the things my elders wanted me to see, either. I wanted to see it all. That even included world news and politics. It’s best not to stereotype teenagers, their array of diversity actually surpasses most other demographics in my experience.

      My guess is that Lemmy is a new platform. The fediverse is also new to most people (myself included) and that leads to people genuinely replying to posts instead of trolling around.
