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

Fediverse@lemmy.world – 1858 points – 12 months ago

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 mean... I don't want to see that either but "normie" platforms sounds really wanky and elitist.

Nothing elitist by any means. I'd love for everybody to come enjoy the Fediverse - it's a cool place. But to be realistic, we all know that most people are too stupid to ever realize how much Big Tech platforms suck
