The first sign of Reddit going to shit was around 2015 when a bunch of tweens (and then their soccer mom moms) started posting.
The soccer mom moms were first checking to make sure it was a safe site, since Anderson Cooper had recently at the time said it was a site for pedophiles. Then they liked the site more than the kids and started to become mods. And these communities were way bigger than their Facebook groups, and the mods had way more powerful buttons than on their Facebook group. And then sub banning became the preferred method of disagreement rather than downvoting (which was also originally not supposed to be used to express disagreement.) anyway I digress.

I mean, it literally was at one point, considering that r/jailbait was massive.

There were a ton of creepy subs. At least from what I heard. I didn’t subscribe to those. But the good subs were good. So I felt that blanket statement from AC was kind of a dick move. Especially for someone who considers himself a responsible journalist. Lost a lot of respect for him over that.

The few times I've seen a teenager mention their age, they end up with a pack of down voters following them around. I don't know if it's the fact that they are teens or that they tend to post the type of cringe that comes with being young, but it's happened enough times for my inattentive ass to notice

There are a lot of us non-techies here, but you sure outnumber us
I love you non techies. And am happy you are on Lemmy. A lot of you are probably techie but you just don’t do it for a job.
Today I have read comments from a driving instructor and a high school teacher.

Get on the couch don't make a soundWord to your mom
I like a bath bomb
If my skin gets dry
I rub in a cream balm

Feels like the average age is 15 whenever the discussion topic is political.
And your instance doesn’t even have hexbear.

Let's be honest, Lemmy may not be the most difficult site on the internet, but the fact that it requires more thought than "sign up" is gonna drive away a lot of casual users of social media. Like the young ones.
What is the sign up process like now on something like X or TikTok, phone verification via text message? I might think selfie, but they probably assume you will post those anyway so they don’t even need to ask.

Man, if 9 good subreddits sit down at a table with 1 pedophile subreddit...

on the one hand yeah, but on the other i had no idea about any of that when i joined in 2010, which i assume was more common. i mostly kept to small, closed communities and never saw the stuff on the front page unless i got logged out. and that was alwaysa weird experience, like the youtube trending page.

I'm pretty sure the average Fediverse user is a 37-year-old male working in tech or IT.
Weird thing to think about as a Lemmy instance admin in their mid 20's, and not in tech at all (tech is a hobby)
