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?
26 is still Gen z
Cuspers are generally a lot more tech savvy than the younger Gen Z kids. I’m 26 and didn’t get a smartphone until I was in high school
Totally agree on this. I figured out boot-loading and learned good online hygene when I was 12, purely because my parents were extremely tech-savvy themselves and enforced their internet ban very well. I didn’t get a phone until high school either. I know others my age can relate. Computers and the modern internet have been around my whole life.
Oh wow now there post is totally different and invalidated. Also generation lines are nonsense, they aren’t hard cutoffs.
