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?

It isn't attempting to capture your personal data and sell it to ad companies like most social media platforms are though.

So would monetising user data be a more accurate statement than data privacy?

It all falls under the same blanket concept of privacy rights, but yes monetizing user data is a more accurate sub category. It doesn't truly matter what we call it as long as the discussion is being had.
