Hope a two part question is allowed but after mostly lurking a lot, I'm noticing that there do seem to be quite a lot of Xennials. But on the other hand, also plenty of rebellious youth.
In my mind I'm thinking that Lemmy userbase is (very broadly generalizing) dividing into people who saw internet's early days and as such, aren't scared of the slight technical hurdles to enter. They tend to be a bit worldweary but Lemmy does feel a bit more like OG internet, which they like (this is me). But also, there's younger people who are techy enough to deal with the hurdles too but see using Lemmy as a sort of an act of rebellion against the mainstream internet (which I appreciate).
That said I feel like the two clash a lot since the former tends to have fewer shits to give than the latter. As often is the case in the whole history of humanity.
Obviously there's plenty of people who don't fall into either camps, which is why I'm curious. Lemmy is small enough to have a sense that there are actual, real, individual people here, as opposed to Reddit's amorphous blob of a massive userbase most of whom seem like bots.
