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?

I'm 27, though the latter two match.

You got me on the 2nd two points

Noooooo.

I actually like that, and I like this about the Fediverse in general: Nothing wrong with YA-oriented media, but I'd rather limit my own online time to stuff - and to a level of debate - that ideally is oriented exclusively towards the topics I'm most interested in, personally.

Not a tech nerd. But over 30 for sure.

Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn't paying the bills...

It's because Fediverse is very complicated right now. E-Mail wasn't, that's why everyone adopted it pretty quickly.

I honestly don't see a future where Lemmy topling Reddit or Mastodon topling Twitter.

Federation's greatest strength is also it's weakness imo.

I think older sysadmins are the only ones who understand the DNS knowledge required to grok federation.

None of those categories are mutually exclusive when you use the tilde-30, especially.

I'm just feeling old, that is all....

[–] zabil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is that not just a broad cross section of the society we live in?

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Doubt
