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 mean, I’m 32, my husband is a software dev, and I’ve been curious about Linux, but not enough to make the move. 😅 So, one of of three.
But I agree with the others. It’s probably partly due to the signup. I also think that the techy prime are the ones who understand what happened with Reddit better and are more likely to care.
