Just got interested in what the age breakdown is on here.

So ... a kind of poll (even though lemmy doesn't have polls).

Let's keep it as anonymous/general as possible ...

Use the categories below and upvotes on existing posts as much as possible?

  1. 0-9
  2. 10-19
  3. 20-29
  4. 30-39
  5. 40-49
  6. 50-59
  7. 60+

Huh? What's your intention, for everyone to comment their range? How would that be anonymous?

You need seven comments, 0-6, and their upvotes can act as anonymous counters.

Upvotes are not anonymous, same for downvotes.

OP should have made a strawpoll or something.

Well, people can self organise ... and they got to it before I could.

As for the anonymity of up/down votes, admins can see them but it's not public facing information AFAIK.

Don't forget upvotes aren't necessarily anonymous

the admins of your instance can see your up-/downvotes and other actions you perform.

it's the same on Reddit and any other social media platform. someone has to host and manage the servers.

2 here

Also I'm really surprised there aren't more 2s....

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Well one of my main curiosities was how many people under 30 there are and I'm a little surprised at how many there are!

Mastodon, for instance, leans pretty old by comparison (x-gen + a bit boomer or millenial is probably the average). Lemmy seems to lean a bit more youthful which is interesting.

There are dozens of us! Actually, maybe not even a dozen...

I guess I soon have to decide what the theme for my mid life crisis should be. Any suggestions?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I started going to a lot of metal concerts. More than in my twenties, and will turn 40 next year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Red sports cars and sex with younger people are traditional...
