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 almost 30, and the youngest on my work team. When I mentioned I was going to be old at 30, they practically started a riot!

      I turn 30 later this year. All of the sudden everything hurts.

      I mean, to be fair, there’s been riots for stupider reasons. But probably not many. 🤣
