Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
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?

Hey! I'm all three of those 🤓
I use Ubuntu btw
Pop! OS for me!
What flavor?
Xubuntu but I'm using i3 so DE doesn't matter anymore
I rock Mate, cause I'm weird 😂. I tried i3 for a hot minute, but couldn't get used to it.
For newcomers, i3 takes a bit of time because it's radically different from how we are used to using our computers. However, if you force yourself to learn for a few hours, you'll like it. I, for example, can't stand to use traditional DEs anymore because they feel so slow :D
Yeah, I had to run xfce on my netbook, mate was too slow 😢, might try it again.
I actually wasn't aware that Pop!_OS had flavors. I'm on the original.
