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?
I am literally about to google FOSS because i have no idea what that means.
Dont really have a point but thought it might speak to OPs question
Edit: Free and Open Source Software. Can someone make a
!remindme style bot for acronyms? Though maybe it would be a good feature for app developers to include in their ux (ui?) Or 3rd party devolopers allow 4rth party features. Starting to sound like a browser plugin/extension which might be a great steam workshop like culture around social media user experience customization.

The fediverse is mostly full of FOSS enthusiasts, which happens to heavily include linux users.
That’s what attracted me to the fediverse in the first place, all the linux people.
The old people are people who grew up before Facebook and corporate social media, as such have no loyalty to said platforms.
