How old are we here?

Just got interested in what the age breakdown is on here.

So ... a kind of poll (even though lemmy doesn't have polls).

Let's keep it as anonymous/general as possible ...

Use the categories below and upvotes on existing posts as much as possible?

  1. 0-9
  2. 10-19
  3. 20-29
  4. 30-39
  5. 40-49
  6. 50-59
  7. 60+

Huh? What's your intention, for everyone to comment their range? How would that be anonymous?

You need seven comments, 0-6, and their upvotes can act as anonymous counters.

Upvotes are not anonymous, same for downvotes.

OP should have made a strawpoll or something.

or he could've asked "what cartoon do you remember from your childhood" to get a rough idea, just like all those similar subtle data farming threads lol

Yeah, because the people in Korea are going to have seen the same cartoons as those in Germany.

Don't forget upvotes aren't necessarily anonymous

Well, people can self organise ... and they got to it before I could.

As for the anonymity of up/down votes, admins can see them but it's not public facing information AFAIK.

Well one of my main curiosities was how many people under 30 there are and I'm a little surprised at how many there are!

Mastodon, for instance, leans pretty old by comparison (x-gen + a bit boomer or millenial is probably the average). Lemmy seems to lean a bit more youthful which is interesting.

There are dozens of us! Actually, maybe not even a dozen...

I guess I soon have to decide what the theme for my mid life crisis should be. Any suggestions?

I started going to a lot of metal concerts. More than in my twenties, and will turn 40 next year.
