Ehh. What's the average age around here? I'm guessing it wasn't the youth that migrated from Reddit.
I'm in my 20s, is that considered youth?
@Wilzax @Underwaterbob yeah 😁
I'm OP and I'm 50 and female.
Old fucker. Your lot taught me an absurd amount of shit on IRC.
I'm 41.
I predate IRC and even web pages. I used telnet talkers!
Fuck it all.
In my mid IRC days I met Suzeran. She was fantastic. Ostensibly a man, but he identified as a young woman. Others in our group were furries or (why the fuck is furry a real word) whatever for the time. Dunno, but our old internet culture was about people, not politics.
So was mine. I mostly hung out in a largely gay men talker, and despite me being neither I made friends I still have today.
Yeah, it's kinda nuts what we dealt with and/or loved.
My most awkward was a bro named Bronson. He made a joke anti-cuban song. He passed way too early. The Cuban bro that spawned the song was the person who told me about 9/11. "We're under attack"
I did my best, but we were poor.
18 here
I’m 33. Joined up during the APIcalypse and ensuing exodus from Reddit.
Look at the baby over here. I remember 33... Actually not really.
Some sorta survey/census for the fediverse might be cool
We've had lots of them. It's depends on the community but we're generally older than r/, more female then you think, and slightly to very 'techie'.
I'm not that young, but sometimes I see people here refer to their childhoods, and then I feel like a baby.
Now I feel old because my childhood was basically over before Reddit was born. Am I already old at 33? Gross!
33 old? Nah. 30s are just the start of actual adulthood (as opposed to young adulthood).
I am 17 lol
I am in my mid 20s the kids call me old and the adults call me a kid.
Im interested in this as well
I think it'll be skewed based on reasons people are here.
