If this comment chain and all the others on that thread are anything to go by, Lemmy’s choice of reverse-appeal-based marketing summoned a very specific (and arguably overwhelming, even when off-topic as its assault-related parent comment suggests) college-lifestyle-inspired demographic that makes me surprised at the outcomes in some places.
