Probably less about skill, per se, and more about interest. But the (still very low) barrier to entry probably does weed out a few kids.
Yeah, I mean I wasn't there for old reddit and I am only on lemmy because of the reddit protests, but I couldn't see any of my classmates using anything that's on the fediverse.
Why would our age group be the only ones interested?
A longing for the Good Old Days(tm) of old-style forums and pre-enshittification Reddit?
Certainly my case. But most of the enshitification of Reddit happened just in the last few years, max decade. You'd think we'd at least have some 20 and 30 somethings.

I found a torrent on the piracy com where I can download episodes of Matlock and NCIS.
