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?

3/3 for me. I feel attacked lol.

But, I'm also happy engaging with people of similar interests.

I think older sysadmins are the only ones who understand the DNS knowledge required to grok federation.

Well it's new open source tech that can be self hosted by the 30+ tech nerds that have the money and interest in it.
