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?

    Mid 30s, healthcare worker but I suppose I’m a tech enthusiast. Use windows on work computer due to needing a few windows only programs for work, Unraid on my NAS, and Ubuntu on my VPS. So I guess 1 and 3 are true and half of 2.
