Thinking about this poll (linked below) and how I was surprised at first how low the <26yo range was. Besides the poll being biased by reach based on their followers, instance, and whoever boosted it, there's one thing the folks of that demographic have in common that could lead them to bounce off Mastodon and the concept of the Fediverse in general: They were not fully present for The Old Internet. People currently in their mid 20s may have some vague recollection, but everyone younger has never known a decentralized web! The era of independently moderated forums had already given way to Facebook and eventually Twitter. Millennials were the final generation with the opportunity to fully experience both.
