I keep seeing people comment that Lemmy is mostly men in their 20s and 30s. That's not my demo and many of the posts/comments i see don't seem to fit that.

I was very interested in learning, during my youth. Not just the things my elders wanted me to see, either. I wanted to see it all. That even included world news and politics. It's best not to stereotype teenagers, their array of diversity actually surpasses most other demographics in my experience.
