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?

    That’s a nice gang. Does it also skip in-video ads?

      Most of the stuff I watch doesn’t have sponsorships. And for those that do, I always instictively fastforward. I just love my browser too much to use an app.

        A roundabout way of saying no. I was hoping that sponsor block could be used in the browser
