To me, it seems like most of Lemmy consists of users who are older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

Do you fit this demographic?

They're a lot younger than me too... but I was on the Internet, including in some mostly-adult communities, at 16 too (not so much at 13). Many of my formative experiences took place there and so I see absolutely nothing wrong with what they're doing.
