Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
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 definitely coming up on 40, but I am not a tech nerd at all. I think Linux is wizard magic.
Linux is wizard magic, which is why you need your wizard hat.
If you have a spare machine gathering dust, I highly recommend installing one of the modern desktop versions and giving it a try. It is still not a replacement for the every day office machine in most environments, but for personal daily computer use it can be fantastic.
