Interesting, apparently about half of the fediverse are people in their 40s and 50s.
@SecondJon Depends on who you ask. Most sociology books I have read list 1980 as being a millennial, which I never considered myself (I'm born in 1980). @freemo
@SecondJon but yeah, even going by that 90% of those ages would be @freemo
@freemo I'm not altogether too surprised actually.
@freemo near 85 percent of the users in that poll are between 26 and 60. The 41-60 group covers the widest range of expected ages, 26-40 contains 25% fewer possible ages, so it’s not surprising that it’s a bit smaller. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if the bird site also has an aging demographic. The kids today have their own preferences for social media.
@unamanic There are significantly fewer people in the world between 40 and 60 than there is between 26 and 40.. so this might even things out a bit. We would have to normalize for the population if you really wanted accurate numbers WRT how exceptional the age distribution is.
@freemo we’d also need more granular data. The rise of the Gram coincided with the teen years for most of the 20 somethings. My guess is that a disproportionate amount of the 26-40 group are in their mid to late 30s.
@freemo Guilty as charged
@freemo let’s hear it for Generation X. About time. 👴
@freemo irc survivors
@freemo
There was no news for a poll. I could have told you that. How else would you get long posts with complete sentences made up of words that are actually in a dictionary?
@freemo millennials😜 are almost the new boomers
