Its always been my impression that Lemmy appeals towards politically charged young adults in their 20s and 30s. Theres something about the anti-authoritarian stance of fediverse that appeals to the rebelious angsty liberal arts types. Keep in mind though these are just the most vocal whos opinions youll see most im sure theres plenty of people with good parent relations who just scrolled past without commenting. These types are old enough to realize the flaws of their upbringing and cook it into their woe-is-me victim complex but not yet experienced enough with life to grow past, let it go, and forgive despite. Really I do think having some older kids in your life helps put a perspective on the other side of things. Parenting isn't easy especially when your life isn't going so well to begin with.
