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?

You can also use Revancced on Android. Or Firefox with uBlock.

That's a nice gang. Does it also skip in-video ads?

Most of the stuff I watch doesn't have sponsorships. And for those that do, I always instictively fastforward. I just love my browser too much to use an app.
