There is teenagers on the fediverse. Most of them don't share their age, for hopefully obvious reasons. I'd say that a lot of the accounts which do a lot of posting/commenting are run by teenagers

because most adults probably wouldn't have the time for that much posting.

While the young people of this generation are generally useless when it comes to something more complicated than microsoft word, the people who are good at technology, usually are very good at it.

most of my friends (most of which don't know the difference between a laptop and a desktop) could understand the fediverse as a concept perfectly when I explained it to them irl.

So, if you're in a really stupid argument with someone, try to remember that there is a small chance they are 14.

Pretty much yeah, most people assume that no one under 30 is on fedi because its "hard" to use.

I'm 24 and I'm using it just fine. I'd say that after signing up somewhere and getting an app to login into, the rest is pretty simple and much similar to reddit

With lemmy? definitely! On the mastodon side of things? no. Mastodon seems to be for german middle aged bikers now.

Oh boy, I should get on Mastodon!

You should also check sharkey! calckey.world

Invite only instances are even worse because of constant fear of banhammer treatment for wrongthink and then making second account is kinda hard

[–] ByteMe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, I don't know. Mastodon seems fine to me too

How is Mastodon harder? (Legit question, not snark)

[–] throwaway@lemmy.cafe 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There is more missing replies/reactions, and picking an instance is a bit harder imo. Also search is completely broken.

[–] dpflug@kbin.earth 2 points 4 days ago

Gotcha. Less difficulty and more just not matching up with expectations.
