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?

But then how will we know if our drip is bussin'?

[-] ScaNtuRd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I don't even know what that means, so I guess I'll never know. Perfectly content with my blissful ignorance haha

"For real, there's no tomorrow? Your outfit is shit, no lie?" my best transcription

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

What do people have against dancing? Life is soul sucking enough - let people do their silly little dances without judgement.

Oh I have nothing against it at all, I just have no interest in watching them lol
