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?

    Same. 36 and tired of the dictatorship within these apps. God forbid you break a stupid rule

      I too am 36 and tired. Must be a thing when we get to this age.

      They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.

      I’m a bit older than you and I feel much the same. Such minimal authority over others can really destroy a human being.
