How old are we here? (lemmy.ml)

Just got interested in what the age breakdown is on here.

So ... a kind of poll (even though lemmy doesn't have polls).

Let's keep it as anonymous/general as possible ...

Use the categories below and upvotes on existing posts as much as possible?

0-9
10-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60+

Huh? What's your intention, for everyone to comment their range? How would that be anonymous?

You need seven comments, 0-6, and their upvotes can act as anonymous counters.

Upvotes are not anonymous, same for downvotes.

OP should have made a strawpoll or something.

or he could've asked "what cartoon do you remember from your childhood" to get a rough idea, just like all those similar subtle data farming threads lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, because the people in Korea are going to have seen the same cartoons as those in Germany.

Well, people can self organise ... and they got to it before I could.

As for the anonymity of up/down votes, admins can see them but it's not public facing information AFAIK.

Don't forget upvotes aren't necessarily anonymous

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How so?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the admins of your instance can see your up-/downvotes and other actions you perform.

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that's a design flaw

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's the same on Reddit and any other social media platform. someone has to host and manage the servers.

[–] SpaceNoodle 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just let AI do it!
