who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)
I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn't see anything relating to it and I'm kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
You're viewing a single thread.
The median age seems to be much higher than other platforms if i had to guess its around 30-35. There are a good deal of tech people, Foss people and activists. There seems to be a balance of gender( based on nothing but vibes). Lots of lgbt people and communities.
There is a culture of creating art, technology and building spaces. There is a culture of inclusiveness and working together. Calling out bad behaviors in people, companies and governments.
Also cats and coffee.
I am only including the lemmy that is within my own federation. I am aware there is fringe communities of extremists and vile people but I've had very little interaction with them so I can't say how much of an impact they have on lemmy as a whole.
What's a foss?
thin string you use to clean between your teeth
You're thinking of "floss".
Foss is loose debris on an airfield or flight deck that can get sucked into an engine or blown into something important.
You're thinking of "floose".
FOSS is an acronym for, "fellatio of sideways sucking". Popular since 1954 and even made reference to by Jim Carrey in the Academy Award winning motion picture, Dumb and Dumber.
The one they named the dance after?
Free Open Source Software
Free open source software
For example: you want more choice than store named brand Downloader you get the F-DROID app which allows you to look at free and open software apps developed independently
Another example is instead of Spotify you download Spotube to listen to music.
Ahem.
Also cats, coffee, and trek.
There is definitely a federation.
