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?
No, no, and yes.
Most maybe, but every other demographic is just valid a contributed to the conversation
I’m a 19-year-old female corvid that migrated to North Africa for better mate selection. I still managed to get a social security number in the US by showing up to the government offices piled on top of other crows in a trench coat and it is “315 34 5262”. My bank account is filled with thousands of dollars in change stolen from people and can be accessed with the username “blackwings” and the password “neverdie111”. Please don’t use this information for any nefarious purposes. I need to feed my crow family.
Nah. I’m an 18-year-old male from Pakistan
Too old to understand why you’re asking about American Sign Language
Early 90s, male, North America
80’s, female, born in the US and now (thankfully) an AU citizen.
’80s*
*80s’
80s’re
80’s’n’t
*8’0s
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?
Omg this is getting silly. Asklemmy really is just a user profiling feed.

90s, SEA
I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.
90s, non-binary and south america.
I feel like an anonymous survey would be much more privacy respecting than everyone commenting with their demographics…
“Nice try… FBI”
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
