I remember there were polls about it, but I cannot find them.

This one user is convinced the users here are literally below the age of highschool. I'm 25 myself and remember seeing people above the age of my parents posting, so I wonder if there's information on the ~population across ages.

    Somewhere between 25 and 30. Don't let these weirdos get to you lol. China, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK and countless of movements around the world do not solely exist of highschoolers. It's just copium to deal with people having different views than their superior ones, of course.

    I was born long enough ago that I personally called Lenin a liberal. The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me

    The majority of people I know are 25+. It's a common propaganda tactic to infantalize your enemies, we do it too.

    From the survey, it seems the largest portion is 25-34 adults, and the second largest is 18-23. That tracks with most online forum usage nowadays AFAIK. But only 7% under 18, which is significantly lower than similar websites like Reddit. I wonder where that puts the dotworld in the demographics spectrum.

    You can also subjectively tell that there aren't many teenagers here by the fact that there isn't much "reply guy" behaviour that are common in teen forums.

      What is a reply guy outside of a celebrity context?

        I think that's the actual usage, but what I meant there was all of those smug non-comments are are only put in forums to either fill space, feel heard for a bit, or get karma. Stuff like making puns on headlines in world news, or all of those "reddit switcheroo" comments, or even shit like just replying "this!" or "reddit silver." Go on any popular thread on reddit and you'll see hundreds of smarmy snarky empty comments being shouted into the void from people who probably didn't even click the link. It's the forum equivalent of Musk replying "Yes!" to opinions from checkmarks he agrees with.

    this comment reeks of “i only think about the west and nowhere else”. marxism and revolutionary socialism are the dominant ideologies in many countries around the world, the communist party of china is one of the largest political parties on earth. just pure ignorance.

      They'll even outright assume you're from one of those northern countries in their world news community of all places when discussing international matters. The thought that non-NATOers can speak English and browse forums has probably never crossed their minds.

    I'm 20. For a good year and some following I was pretty much the baby of the site since I was rather open about being in high school when I was 17 and power-posting shrug-outta-hecks

    My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

    I’m 21, and despite what these people think, the vast vast majority of people my age are not communists, but rather just plain nearly apolitical liberals.

    People who say "I'm older than you, that means I'm smarter" are dumb and smelly. What matters is what time your bed time is. I have a really late bed time. I get to watch all the cool grown up movies. I bet they have to go to bed early. I have more toys than any of them. I bet they don't even have more than one colour of batman toy. And my spoon is the most biggest.
