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?

Try stringing sshfs mounts around like cristmas lights. Bonus points if you can minipulate the files of the machine your sitting in front of by telling your remote computer to move a thing but is bound to send a command to yet another machine, etc... till the second to last one of them commands your own machine to move the file
