Hypothesis: The Fediverse consists almost entirely of adults.

I expect most youths are drawn to the large corporate social networks; but those of us who took the effort to come here have likely experienced the Internet before most of those existed.

Of course, the only way to test this is by collecting data using the most scientifically rigorous method available to me: a Mastodon poll, lol

(I expect this will only reach English-speaking Fedi, but do boost if you're able)

@jsstaedtler I just got Lego for my 40th birthday. Does that make me an adult or not?
@dascandy42 @jsstaedtler I got lego for my 49th birthday. I'm definitely an adult according to all the standard criteria - including, re this poll, having been Online since before twitter/facebook/etc, and having experienced BBSes/forums/newsgroups/etc.
