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

gamer@lemm.ee to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 1864 points –

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?

My Soundblaster used IRQ 7. Why do I still know this.

Because when the great reset happens and VHS is hot shit again, you'll be ready.

Ahh, the great modem connection sounds, letting you know that the internet was only just (roughly) 2 minutes away. Or longer.
