That might be average age across the user population, but I would guess the average age across the population of posts and comments is significantly lower.

I figured it was over 30...
I'm pretty sure the average Fediverse user is a 37-year-old male working in tech or IT.

Mostly I wanted to emphasize that we aren't all borderline literal children here, but yes, the average age is probably higher.

Wait, you mean you're all real???
Brb, I need to apologise to my dealer.
Feels like the average age is 15 whenever the discussion topic is political.
No, no, there's definitely an at-least college-age level of idiocy going on in political topics.

We remember what the Internet used to be and naturally gravitate towards that.
Eternal September is real.
I miss the old internet. I feel we lost so much along the way. It was wild, but it didn't feel like everything just existed just to sell you something. Or sell your data.
Let's be honest, Lemmy may not be the most difficult site on the internet, but the fact that it requires more thought than "sign up" is gonna drive away a lot of casual users of social media. Like the young ones.

The few times I've seen a teenager mention their age, they end up with a pack of down voters following them around. I don't know if it's the fact that they are teens or that they tend to post the type of cringe that comes with being young, but it's happened enough times for my inattentive ass to notice

The first sign of Reddit going to shit was around 2015 when a bunch of tweens (and then their soccer mom moms) started posting.
The soccer mom moms were first checking to make sure it was a safe site, since Anderson Cooper had recently at the time said it was a site for pedophiles. Then they liked the site more than the kids and started to become mods. And these communities were way bigger than their Facebook groups, and the mods had way more powerful buttons than on their Facebook group. And then sub banning became the preferred method of disagreement rather than downvoting (which was also originally not supposed to be used to express disagreement.) anyway I digress.
