21 year old windows/android using student (engineering, so not really tech) here, so no i guess.
Yep :p
Like every other tech-related stuff that has some "depth" compared to "normie stuff"....? Yep, pretty much.
Mid 30s, healthcare worker but I suppose I'm a tech enthusiast. Use windows on work computer due to needing a few windows only programs for work, Unraid on my NAS, and Ubuntu on my VPS. So I guess 1 and 3 are true and half of 2.
We do need to attract young people, this is what social media do as well, very important.
heh
I'm actually part of the last two groups but I've also noticed that most people on the fediverse seem to be from an entirely different generation than me
None of the above!
2/3 here. But hey it's not too different compared to reddit in its first years
Eh it’s that, or the constant droning of zaps from Nostr clients. Take your pic I guess, but those are the choices if you’re looking for something decentralized atm.
38 year old moderately tech savvy person here, much more hardware savvy than software if that makes sense? When the whole reddit thing exploded, I concluded that I was pretty much going to stop using reddit once Boost stopped working. Then I saw someone mention Lemmy in a comment so I searched it up and here I am. I didn't know there was a reddit alternative, or a Twitter, instagram or YouTube (decentralised) alternative. Just finding out all this now. I didn't even think of centralised VS decentralised until the last few days, this is all new to me and still wrapping my head around the whole federation concept, particularly with the Meta etc. I feel like I need an ELI5 on that concept but I'm still yet to search and find if an ELI5 community exists here lol
But I think it makes sense that the demographic might be older. I don't want to shoehorn any age group into one large generalisation but I'd dare assume that under 30-40s are happy to be where their peers are? And to be clear, I'm not an instagram/twitter/tiktok user. And I only use Facebook for a side business I ran and it's marketplace.
Hey btw Boost is coming to lemmy also!
Turned 20 a few days ago.
