[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 151 points 2 years ago (6 children) That’s the vibe I always got from Reddit. But yeah, the vibe I get from Lemmy is that there are two demographics. 19-45 white male tech enthusiast and 19-45 white trans female tech enthusiast. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [–] CertifiedBlackGuy@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago (3 children) I'm not sure yet which one I am ಠ_ಠ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 55 points 2 years ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago Oh damn, your certification ran out? permalink fedilink source parent [+] brax@sh.itjust.works -19 points 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nikki@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago cmon dont call me out like that :3 permalink fedilink source parent [–] fapforce5@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago Which is interesting. On the early days of Digg it was the same demographic, although more politically center. Then in the early days of reddit the same thing happened. It was mostly Linux and tech. So having the same starting demo is not a bad thing, but the question is, will it grow to adopt others permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago I think Lemmy skews towards the younger end though. Of course I could be very mistaken as this impression is entirely unscientific and is based solely on the levels of knowledge and general discourse that are prevalent on Lemmy. To my eye, a large percentage of Lemmy's users are both relatively low-information and lacking in real life experience. They also tend to be very ideological which in my experience is something that tends to diminish with age. Again, I could be very wrong about this. permalink fedilink source parent [+] hydrospanner@lemmy.world -29 points 2 years ago (2 children) There's also the leftists who decide very narrowly what opinions will be tolerated!
