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. 🙃

      14 year olds also don’t know who Bob Barker is.

      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.

      I always thought reddit just picked the demographic that sounded best to advertisers, how would anyone know for sure?

      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.
