@scottishphil totally fair. I'm in that group but really my time on the internet mostly coincides with the rise of the big centralized internet sites like FB.

@mikarv yeah that was sort of what I was imagining. There seems to be a general sense of "haha we're doomed and being exploited" that pervades the younger generations so a decentralized as free experience would seem like an attractive alternative. And like you say, fandom knows no limits. But I wasn't sure I would reach those communities either πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@jynersolives that last option LOL

I almost made the last option "Old like dirt"

@vfrmedia @drV yeah I'm not really surprised with the results so far actually. Lots of academics and journalists joined lately and those aren't exactly careers that skew young.

Plus if the adults are doing it there's probably a point where that makes it actively uncool to the youths πŸ™ƒ

You gotta be kidding me this game is going bananas πŸ˜‚

@tlsmith63 Im not *that* surprised considering a large part of the influx is academics and journalists. Not exactly groups that skew young.

@Jewishreader considering that I just make up these options on the spot I think that's pretty fair. No one is going to mistake me for a demographer!

To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the . On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

Several weeks into the it seems clear to me the value of Mastodon is not that it is a Twitter replacement, but that it is a gateway technology to decentralization. Mastodon has flaws, I'm not claiming it's perfect, but many criticisms I've seen stem from expecting centralized services from a decentralized structure. It's up to us to try and explain the differences and set expectations for what alternative services can look like.

@scottjenson one of my least favorite attitudes around FOSS. The choice shouldn't be between asceticism and conspicuous consumption.

@jeff what's the difference between Newsie.social and Jorna.host? Is there a big difference or are they just two different services with similar goals?

US elections, voter suppression, demographics

Or maybe not. Looks like I've got another 67GB of updates. There's always tomorrow I suppose?
