There is teenagers on the fediverse. Most of them don't share their age, for hopefully obvious reasons. I'd say that a lot of the accounts which do a lot of posting/commenting are run by teenagers

because most adults probably wouldn't have the time for that much posting.

While the young people of this generation are generally useless when it comes to something more complicated than microsoft word, the people who are good at technology, usually are very good at it.

most of my friends (most of which don't know the difference between a laptop and a desktop) could understand the fediverse as a concept perfectly when I explained it to them irl.

So, if you're in a really stupid argument with someone, try to remember that there is a small chance they are 14.

I'm old. I'm not sure what part of lemmy is hard. It's just sign up, click a few things, download an app if you want. I don't even have to remember a password. You don't have to know how to build a car in order to drive.

Yes, noticed the influx of youngsters recently in the daily posts of 'how come my boyfriend won't talk to me', 'why are the girls at school so jealous of me', etc. Also, putting 19/f in the post. What's that about?

I'm also old and I really don't know what's going on. You're mostly right, I'm here reading stuff and it's working fine for me, but when it comes to federated instances and mastodons, I'm not sure I'll ever really understand what this IS
