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?
It’s fun seeing your username pop up in so many things… been a while since I regularly happened upon comments from the same folks over and over all over a site.
It’s interesting phase on fediverse, not hard to be well-known right now. I’ve certainly remember some usernames from seeing them at unrelated communities in different instances and they’re aren’t even trying to be popular, just leave thoughtful comments a lot.
