I'd say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.

Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t forget /.

I stayed around that one for way, way too long.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

39 here, exact same backstory.

[–] AnotherMadHatter@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Wow. Same for me. Digg just before the implosion, then reddit for 10ish years then here. 52.

[–] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Similar age here.

Not into social media and Reddit now sucks.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm 27, and came here after the reddit blackout. Digg was before my time on the Internet. What was it like?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you have to peg me that hard before we've even met

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

It's my usual ice breaker.

[–] papertowels@lemmy.one 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's a great point, we've been around the block so we're less receptive to enshittification bullshit
