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?

Noooooo.

I'm actually part of the last two groups but I've also noticed that most people on the fediverse seem to be from an entirely different generation than me

2/3 here. But hey it's not too different compared to reddit in its first years

The Fediverse is still relatively "new" (in the sense that it really started gaining traction a few years ago) and the type of people you mentioned are just the first to know about it.

If we get enough support and the big problem social networks crack we'll probably get a more diverse crowd later on. I doubt the Fediverse will become mainstream but it's definitely more known now and becoming more popular.

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

I feel personally attacked.
