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?

      You should dual boot, or get a live USB of a Linux distro now, and acclimatise to the way things are done in Linux.
      There’s a lot of things that still need to be done through the CLI. Luckily documentation for Linux is one of it’s strong points.
