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?

Did you just call me old? 🥺

I remember being a teenager thinking 26 year olds were old lol

Now I'm in my early 30s and while I'm not old I'm definitely not the young whippersnapper I used to be

Yes. And so am I. Deal with it.
