What do you think the age demographic on Lemmy is? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (7 children)

I would estimate

15% <25

60% 25-40

25% 40+

Y'all be showing your age sometimes 😅

Should I moderate communities like a bot? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

Previous comments are spot on.

One thing I would add is that Lemmy is a particularly sensitive case, because we really want to encourage activity and growth at this stage. It pains me when communities without much activity get a meme post or something that makes it into /all and the mods remove it for being off-topic.

Overly strict moderation is one of the fastest ways to drive people away from a platform. Just follow your natural instincts and let people post what they want as long as it's not harming anyone.

What is the most important unanswered question about the Fediverse? in c/[email protected]

It seems they deleted their account. But yeah that thread was really funny, the responses were good too

ATProto is what Bluesky uses, right? It'd be nice if someone could give a quick summary of the features and what differentiates it compared to ActivityPub.

It seems like it would be a pretty big task to switch from ActivityPub, because each fediverse project would have to implement that independently.

I'll never stop wondering why this guy was trying to not poop for 3 days.

That mystery still keeps me up at night sometimes. Looks like that account got deleted so it will probably remain unanswered.

What is the Mount Olympus of the USA? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lol damn that's a heck of a hike. They also have other stickers that say "This hiker climbed Mt. Washington". Much more impressive.

The wind gusts on that mountain are pretty crazy.

Can we please never refer to RFK Jr as RFK? Honestly I'd be fine if we never mentioned him at all, but letting him take over the name of the real RFK is a fucking travesty and I will not stand for it.
