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?
That’s why it’s less toxic? No teens?
It is refreshing. I’ll channel some toxicity to level the playing field
Its not toxic because its new and when something is new people tend to be well behaved around it for a while. This goes for online video games, internet stuff, new brick and mortar buildings. Basically the “Tragedy of the Commons” has not yet occured here.
