    I’ll go first.

    • I think there is a strong pro-Linux bias. It wouldn’t surprise me if 40+% use it on here.
    • People from the US seem over-represented, but less so compared to Reddit
    • There is a far stronger anti-capitalist sentiment on here than other social media
    • The average age seems to be much higher. I joined when I was 16 and feel quite young unlike on other social media.

      I’ll add:

      • AI bad
      • Piracy ok
      • Political posts are more frequent (Bias towards political expression)
      • More tech enthusiasts

        • Piracy ok

        I’m not sure how true that is for the largest instance (lemmy.world) but apart from that it seems quite on point

      I agree that the average age is higher. You’re the only other confirmed teenager that I have encountered while on Lemmy. I joined Lemmy when I was 17 during the Reddit emmigration.
