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)

⬇️ What is your age? ⬇️

Remember FediFriends  ​:

Mastodon instances admins are going through a very challenging time right now.

They have difficult, often heartbreaking, decisions to make 💔

They have a lot of changes to managed  ​

They have large influx in traffic to deal with  ​

And they have to deal with all of our comments and strong opinions about this  ​

Be Kind with instance administrators and moderation teams. Even when you do not agree with their choices. You can state your opinion, but always remain polite and empathetic.

This is volunteer work!
They all deserve our kindness 💚
