Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
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?

Yes. Reddit was probably the same for years.
It was. There was a time when "join our chat" was an irc room and not a discord "server"
Ah. IRC, the Slack before Slack.
I am loving Lemmy, in part because I feel like people are having more personal and interesting conversations.
