It feels like the same Reddit crowd from when I was in college (2011). So I’m guessing we skew towards millennials, early Gen Z folks. Definitely more tech oriented than other platforms that’s for sure. Also just as liberal as Reddit. There is a much larger focus on privacy here as well.

just as liberal as Reddit.
Don't let the communists hear you say that
I don't think I even know what a liberal is anymore.
Humans
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
Are you the conductor of the poop train?
That's meat bicycle
Okay Dude. Have it your way.
Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.
Speak for yourself.. I'm a NHI biologic
I suspect 30ish (+/- 10) males mostly
I think i saw somewhere a statistic that supports your claim. And when i remember correctly there was a higher % of woman than on reddit, but i looked at the statistic like a month ago so take it with a grais of salt. Or two
Internet elders
Elders of the Internet…. Wait the Elders of the Internet know who I am???
As a gen Jones, I see nothing but children. The recent uproar about avoiding open piracy seems to bear that out.
What would piracy have to do with age? Pirates run the gamut from preteens to elderly.
In my experience, older folks see software/artistic piracy as less morally desirable.
Older folks generally have more money
I'm not even sure if zoomers know what a torrent is
As a Gen Z'er, I can really feel the Millennial vibes permeating throughout Lemmy
IT males from their 40s to 60s.
I'm an IT male in my 20s. Do I count ?
Of course you do, little buddy! Don't knock yourself down. Chin up, sport!
Linux users, and people who have not yet become linux users
That's a little like saying everything in the universe is either a potato or it isn't.
People that switched from Reddit.
To begin with -- we're not what you'd call -- human.
The rest of us are AI experiments trying to see if we can pass the Squander trial of the Turing test. How's it going so far?
I knew it brb
The only strong guess that comes to my mind is that most people on Lemmy are Western European. I say this because it always seems to be who gets to a fresh new place first. Before the Twitter boom, Twitter was very Euro-centric.
As a Gen Y human I feel Lemmy appeals to my traditional forum sensibilities while being slightly streamlined. People used to host forums because they wanted to and not as a means to generate revenue.
@Squander Let us peel away your petty facades and reveal you for what your truly are!!!
fairly attractive 20-somethings, apparently.
We would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddlin' kids
I'm a twenty year old fascist
