I have the feeling that people in the Threadyverse are on average younger than on Mastodon.

My assumption is:

  • Mastodon: 30 - 45
  • Lemmy, /kbin: 25 - 40

There are polls like that on Mastodon whichvpoint to that, but I haven't seen any on the Threadyverse.

Sorry, didn't come to the fediverse to have my data harvested. :^)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Also the fact they called it 'threadyverse' instead of fediverse, makes this post appear even more nefarious.

Nice try zuck. Lol

Fediverse includes both twitter-likes and reddit-likes. Pretty sure they were just trying to distinguish between the two.

The inability to mass delete or truly nuke an account has made me a lot more conscious of what I am sharing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Old enough to know better than to reveal personal info on the internet. Actually that might be specific enough for you to guess lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ah so you're (at least) 35

Plus or minus a century is eerily close on the timescale of the universe :P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Which is why this question is useless, only gen z and boomers will answer. Millenials and Gen X actually care about privacy because we saw the internet when it still existed.

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

Old enough to know that the real way to ask this question is “asl?”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I've used this pretty recognizable name for too long to be willing to drop such easy-to-use details, someone who tries to dox me has to at least work for it. But I'm another middle aged internet geek.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm on Mastodon, Lemmy and kbin and I'm 58.

Don't want to give out my exact age, but old enough where the internet would scream at you when you connected to it, and you'd keep your highschool homework on a floppy disk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

So, about half my age.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You had computers in school?

Old enough to be a dad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Older than Dracula in dog years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Old but not that old, but not that young either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

18, i joined mastodon 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just turned forty, don't work in tech. Yeah, I know I'm the weirdo here.

Though it does seem so far like lemmings act less teenaged than redditors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

under 18, enough said

Curious why you would think that users on the Twitter-like (microblog) platform are older than those on the Reddit-like (link aggregator) platform. I've always associated microblogging with a younger mindset.
