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?

    I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m just your average Hollywood celebrity here to promote my new movie “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st.

      I like to think we’re all here like “hah hah, look it’s Margot Robbie” and in a wild turn of events, find out that it actually was all along

      It’s fun seeing your username pop up in so many things… been a while since I regularly happened upon comments from the same folks over and over all over a site.

        It’s interesting phase on fediverse, not hard to be well-known right now. I’ve certainly remember some usernames from seeing them at unrelated communities in different instances and they’re aren’t even trying to be popular, just leave thoughtful comments a lot.
