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?

    Eh, idk about that. Matrix has been around for a few years now, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. Now, is it likely to ever be as big as Twitter/Facebook/reddit? Probably not. But, I’m not sure that was ever really the goal either.
