Wrong . I hate playing any and all games.
There was a post about me moving my account on casual conversation.
Other than these two mistake you mostly nailed it
Hehe, we seem to share a few things...
I mean we're often predctable, and while Lemmy is somewhat diverse, most people I meet here are either American or German and males from, lets say 20-40. And there are certain types prevalent. Like the Meme-Lord, the casual Linux expert, the normal guy or the agitated opposer. Some people fulfill multiple categories or like being a bit schizophrenic on the internet. But I've also met people with crazy niche interests, or trying new things, so there is that.
And I can't really tell: Playing devil's advocate, participating in memes and internet culture and having multiple sock-puppet accounts for different use-cases are fairly common and make it difficult to judge a person. And my own behaviour is also very different in real-life than what I do here.
Huh never knew germans where the other popular category here i guessed that usa would be one of course. You learn somethin everyday i guess.
It's been the same on Reddit, so I think with lots of people coming from there, it's just the logical consequence that we get the same demographics here. My perspective might be a bit skewed on that... I've also talked to some British and Canadian people here. There's some server statistics (on Fediverse observer or something) that reflect a similar thing with the origin of the servers. Ultimately I like platforms like this for connecting people all across the world.
Yea i thought uk or canada maybe the other popular one as i don't even see much german focused instances
