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 know I’m replying to a two year old comment, but who cares.

    I’ve had a Motorola Milestone (Motorola Droid in the US) in 2009 and I got an internet enabled plan immediately.

    It was very expensive and capped at 200 Megabytes per month, so I only really used it for basic web browsing. Fucking loved that phone, though. I played through a few GBA games on an emulator, with the keyboard it worked great.

    I’ve had spotify back then, but I never streamed anything, because of the data cap.
