Ehh. What's the average age around here? I'm guessing it wasn't the youth that migrated from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm in my 20s, is that considered youth?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I predate IRC and even web pages. I used telnet talkers!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

I’m 33. Joined up during the APIcalypse and ensuing exodus from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Look at the baby over here. I remember 33... Actually not really.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some sorta survey/census for the fediverse might be cool

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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'.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not that young, but sometimes I see people here refer to their childhoods, and then I feel like a baby.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Now I feel old because my childhood was basically over before Reddit was born. Am I already old at 33? Gross!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

33 old? Nah. 30s are just the start of actual adulthood (as opposed to young adulthood).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Im interested in this as well

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I am in my mid 20s the kids call me old and the adults call me a kid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I think it'll be skewed based on reasons people are here.
