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?

    The fediverse is a bit confusing too IMO, and it will be changing too I bet which will make it even more confusing.

    Is there any place tech enthusiasts, early adopters, Linux people hang around? I mean today it seems like here is the answer :-)

    Maybe this isn’t the place but I’m shooting my shot:

    I got a serious question to ask&discuss but I haven’t found a good place (it’s about a new type of decentralised tech)
