The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?

    Honestly wouldn’t mind Lemmy being a 30+ monoculture. Let the kids stay on their TikBooks and SnapFaces where they make porn or whatever else kids do these days.

      I kinda hate how my peers have ruined the image of the youth. Now older people look at me and they’re thinking: This damn kid probably watch braindead TikTok content all day

        I’ve lost all hope for young people when most of the “proposed” content on Facebook or similar are either: young people making softcore porn videos, or young people miming to songs.

      To be honest, the NSFW content here on Lemmy is quite good, lol.

        Well it would be nice to have a corner of the Internet that isn’t invaded by teenage desperately attention seeking social media drones.
