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)

Hey there new people! Are you looking for a nice, well-run server to move to? I maintain a small site that lists them at:

➡️ https://fedi.garden

All of the servers listed obey the four rules of the Mastodon Covenant (https://fedi.garden/about-this-site/), but it's more than just Mastodon servers and they are all under 50k members.

I also do featured server posts introducing the listed servers.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy.

It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.

Good for them!! 🥬
