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?

Man since when was early to mid 20's considered old 😔
As far as what others have commented, I prefer to never touch Linux with a 10 ft limbo pole if I absolutely don't have to (school, work, etc). Obviously this has exceptions such as Android and other Unix offshoots. Maybe some common groundwork other users have is that we all like tech and are willing to try new experiments even if it doesn't work out right away.
