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 27, though the latter two match.

Like every other tech-related stuff that has some "depth" compared to "normie stuff"....? Yep, pretty much.

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.
