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’m 36. I’m tired of everybody taking my money. I’m tired of corporations. I’m here to get away from that.
Same. 36 and tired of the dictatorship within these apps. God forbid you break a stupid rule
I too am 36 and tired. Must be a thing when we get to this age.
They went too far left. I left the plantation and god forbid ActivityPub just be left as a sacred place.
I’m a bit older than you and I feel much the same. Such minimal authority over others can really destroy a human being.
Same(ish). Also sick of family jumping into the socials and not caring.
It weirds me out how they just go for it.
Like whatsapp? Need to Gove access to my address book to send a message to a new recipient.
Nope. No
