I'm extremely new to this site, but have seen a lot of promising things. People here seem to use logic and common sense, instead of baseless feelings. I've also seen calling out hypocrisy and (to put it lightly) evil laws and regulations.

So you guys know how if you Boil down Twitter users, it's basically blue haired vegan feminist. Reddit users are the basement dwelling pedophiles. And 4chan are the racists.

What is the stereotypical lemmy user?

I don't love being force fed advertisments.

And I get pissed off when API access gets taken away from me >.>

Lemmy is pro Linux, anti Israel, and communist.

Huh. I didn't know I was all that, but I do like Linux.

Its very much the same demographic as early reddit: male, 20s/30s EU/NA, into tech and left leaning to very left wing.

Dudes dudes and more dudes. Nerdy dudes, needy dudes, autistic dudes, pedantic dudes. And girls who were born with dude plumbing.

Autistic FOSS enthusiast trans girls who love Linux and hate sports.
