What's the value in limiting by age? Part of the value of self-learning is being able to tackle it at any point in life.

If I want to chat with peers who are self-studying data science or Python or whatever, I don't care if they're 18 or 80. I care that they want to talk about Python or data science and are at the same skill level as me.

I appreciate the filtering. Self learning is super life-style dependent and I’d like to work with other people who have the same (classes, part-time work, no real responsibilities like kids or a full-time job, more free time in the summer) lifestyle as me.

Also, there’s a social aspect of learning together and I’d rather spend time with people my own age.

Any kind of social matching app like this naturally draws in a lot of 18-23 year olds who don't want to interact with anyone older than college age. It might not be very nice, but I don't blame OP for it.
