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?

A fair bit from a theoretical perspective, actually. I’ve got a copy of Fundamentals of Motor Vehicle Technology on my shelf and I figure 50 years ago, I’d have been one of those people taking apart and putting together a motorcycle engine during the summer instead of figuring out how computers worked.
