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’m a boomer and I’m here. Although I’m probably the exception since I’ve never had a Facebook account and you couldn’t pay me enough to touch anything Meta. Probably because I fit the rest of OP’s criteria: way over 30, tech worker, Linux user.
