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 am quite fond of being in a place where bot manipulation and advertisement hasn’t over-taken the entirety of the content. I hope it never reaches Reddit/Insta/Face/Tube status.

      Yeah, I am loving the intimate feel of the lemmiverse and how I can have actual real conversations here. These are my people!
