Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

Are you the conductor of the poop train?

Okay Dude. Have it your way.

Everyone on lemmy is a bot except you.

Speak for yourself.. I'm a NHI biologic

As a Gen Z'er, I can really feel the Millennial vibes permeating throughout Lemmy

[–] radix@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gen X'ers getting ignored as usual. But we like it that way.

I feel called out

[–] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suspect 30ish (+/- 10) males mostly

[–] Little8Lost@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IT males from their 40s to 60s.

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm an IT male in my 20s. Do I count ?

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Of course you do, little buddy! Don't knock yourself down. Chin up, sport!

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.

[–] teft@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What would piracy have to do with age? Pirates run the gamut from preteens to elderly.

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my experience, older folks see software/artistic piracy as less morally desirable.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Older folks generally have more money

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not even sure if zoomers know what a torrent is

[–] amminadabz@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Linux users, and people who have not yet become linux users

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's a little like saying everything in the universe is either a potato or it isn't.

People that switched from Reddit.

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?

[–] Squander@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I knew it brb

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] vita_man@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddlin' kids
