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?

    That’s how I found Reddit. Digg platform fucked around and found out. I hope the same for Reddit.

      Man, such a shame this seems like a cycle. At least I hope it is anyways and that Reddit finds out. Love your Apollo avatar by the way.

        Let’s just hope the Fediverse doesn’t fuck around.

          Agreed. Hopefully it’d just be one instance messing around and we can just migrate to another one unlike how it is now with Reddit.
