Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)

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 think about this a lot. I'm so grateful I had the experience of messing with the windows registry and other phenomena of the 90s.

    TBH, I actually thought he was talking about autoexec.bat and EMS memory, etc, rather than windows. I guess I'm slightly older? Maybe not. I'm also thinking windows registry thing hasn't really gone away. Yet.
