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?

    I left Reddit because I like browsing on my phone while pooping. They took that away from me.

    If YouTube forces me to remove AdBlock, I’ll leave that too. And if Windows 11 forces me to create a Microsoft account then I’m moving to Linux.

    But yes I’m 39, I run a tech repair shop, but I’m not on Linux… Yet.
