To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.
Do you fit this demographic?
Early 90s, male, North America
Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language
80’s, female, born in the US and now (thankfully) an AU citizen.
’80s*
*80s’
*8’0s
80s’re
Male, 90s, South Asia.
Ha I thought for a second your age was in the 90’s, but then I considered it more likely that you were born in the 1990’s, right?
I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
90s, SEA
Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.
Lemmings of Lemmy: What’s your blood type and eyeglass prescription?
90s, non-binary and south america.

Put in the legwork to find me Mr alphabet soup man. I know you can do it, you’re just being lazy.

How has nobody memed this yet? You guys seem waaay too comfortable sharing personal information for the fact that this is the website of linux nerds, don’t you care about online privacy?

Close, but not quite. One thing I notice a lot around here (Lemmy/fediverse) that suggests many users are elder millennials or older, is the frequent use of 2 spaces after a period. I don’t really notice as much of that in other online communities.
I feel like an anonymous survey would be much more privacy respecting than everyone commenting with their demographics…
We have the Venn overlap of people who want privacy and people who dislike enshittification. Then some join Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who scroll by and don’t care to read other people’s info or post their own. Huge sieve, these comments aren’t even seen.
Then we have curious people who are probably curious about tech or tinkering or protecting themselves or more organic forums like Lemmy.
⇒Nonresponse bias by people who check this out by curiosity (e.g. comment/upvote ratio, are people really giving out their info or faking it with jokes?) but then they definitely choose to not comment. They et al. might upvote the above comment or not, and nope out.
We can’t even get good Linux user demographics. A large survey sometime back said “Wayland was leading over Xorg, according to users who replied” – obviously false, take a look at Indian corporate use of Ubuntu Desktop LTS, or the legacyness of X11.
Blah blah, 2.5/mitosis/deep sea geysers
“Nice try… FBI”
Be careful giving away personal information on Lemmy. It’s wildly difficult to ensure stuff is deleted or removed in the Fediverse across multiple servers.
It’s better to provide aggregated data (South East Asia instead of saying Thailand)
