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?
No kids.hahaha.
Yes, and that’s what makes lemmy special. Majority the people here have outgrown their edgy states. There is more insightful conversations and sharing of real thoughts. Less one upping of each other and no mindless one liner replies.
Let’s treasure this while it lasts. Maybe the younger demographics will com later or maybe not. But hell yeah. I do like the mellow kind of thoughtful conversations on lemmy. Let’s let the kids have their fun on threads or whatever they are in on, they can come here when they are ready. Everyone’s welcome here. We do not need to force anyone to join if they don’t want to. As it is, we’re already self sufficient and our survival rate (lemmy) is high.
