I don't think it's just age - people here have a tendency to live in a tech bubble regardless of age. I'm under 25 and I've never used Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and I think it's because I live in an out-of-touch bubble.
Despite ideas that at college you're supposed to meet people different to you, my college experience mainly consisted of me finding "my people" i.e. tech-obsessed nerds who use Reddit, Hacker News, IRC, Signal, and Discord. And that bubble only got more bubbly when I got internships and jobs at tech companies.
I don't want to project too hard, but it's easy to see how a site like HN could attract lots of people like that who don't engage with Snapchat regardless of age.
