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?

    To be honest, I’m still not sold on federation, and that’s going to be a huge hurdle to overcome with the general public.

      Does anyone know of any Game Theory-esque analysis of how late-stage Fediverse is supposed to work? What’s the end game? What happens to the Fediverse with all the different kinds of players involved at this point?

        I see each topic having their own instance, a giant web of interest connected content servers… I’ll call it, the internet 😄 For real though, this shit feels like the old days back in the 90s ♥️
