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?
If I were to start a community moderator tools would one use if necessary. Definitely don’t want to pay for an app to do that though. Typically have been a compliant participator but not an overlord previously.
mod tools seem fairly limited at present but I found this page describing what you can do now: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/04-moderation.html I’m still mulling over what niche I can fill myself - only just got here lol
