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?

    Not at all! It just got me thinking and figured I’d add a perspective from someone that isn’t in tech on getting set up/user experience

      Okay good! I am trying my best to keep a positive tone on here so that we don’t descend into toxicity like reddit.
