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. I’m tired of everybody taking my money. I’m tired of corporations. I’m here to get away from that.

        They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
