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 36 but a tech potato.

    I can build a computer and do basic troubleshooting. That’s about it.

      Hey, me too!

      I miss when things were either plug 'n play, or complicated enough that you needed like an IT spirit guide and lots of free time to get anything figured out.
