Hey, I'm not using Linux... on my desktop
I fit none of your 3 categories! But I would say with the slightly less convenient joining process compared to most social media, the Fediverse is going to have to built up by people willing to take that burden, at least at first
No. (Yes)
3 for 3 here. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to disseminate and consume information/news, ask and answer questions, and learn things.
FWIW, someone on my Mastodon TL suspected the same thing and made a poll regarding the users age. About 850 people voted and 63% turned out to be 30-50 years old.
Here's the toot in question. In Spanish tho https://mastodon.social/@batmanyyo/110668830560740847

We are always first on the new thing. It's completely normal growth
I'm far from 30, am a tech enthusiast but I'm taking a degree in a different field, and I do use Linux.
But yeah, it's hard to get other people to use media platforms like this one. I think it will naturally grow though but it's hard to compete with corporate media platforms.
A not so smart genz member here, and I believe we need a little bit more time for other genz fellas to actively post here.
Yep, I'm all three...
It’s not TikTok. That is for sure (the new hotness for teens). And so in the world of Reddit and Facebook the early adopters are … the people you describe. Mastodon seems a bit more diverse - since it’s branches from Twitter but Lemmy and Kbin is Reddit refugees and those are .. 30+ nerds.
too many of you didn't have a something awful account and it shows!
