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?

    I’ve just blocked the linux communities. I quite liked Linux when I still had reason to use it, but it’s just not something I care to see so frequently when scrolling the FP. Just keep blocking the /c/ you don’t want and eventually you’ll have a curated list of posts you want to see. But maybe i’m just old, ya young bastard. :p
