Ehh. What's the average age around here? I'm guessing it wasn't the youth that migrated from Reddit.

I'm OP and I'm 50 and female.

Old fucker. Your lot taught me an absurd amount of shit on IRC.

I'm 41.

I predate IRC and even web pages. I used telnet talkers!

Fuck it all.

In my mid IRC days I met Suzeran. She was fantastic. Ostensibly a man, but he identified as a young woman. Others in our group were furries or (why the fuck is furry a real word) whatever for the time. Dunno, but our old internet culture was about people, not politics.

So was mine. I mostly hung out in a largely gay men talker, and despite me being neither I made friends I still have today.

Yeah, it's kinda nuts what we dealt with and/or loved.

My most awkward was a bro named Bronson. He made a joke anti-cuban song. He passed way too early. The Cuban bro that spawned the song was the person who told me about 9/11. "We're under attack"

I’m 33. Joined up during the APIcalypse and ensuing exodus from Reddit.

Look at the baby over here. I remember 33... Actually not really.

Some sorta survey/census for the fediverse might be cool

We've had lots of them. It's depends on the community but we're generally older than r/, more female then you think, and slightly to very 'techie'.

I'm not that young, but sometimes I see people here refer to their childhoods, and then I feel like a baby.

Now I feel old because my childhood was basically over before Reddit was born. Am I already old at 33? Gross!
