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?

There's always a group on the forefront, it makes sense that it's tech interested people Fediverse being based on open source software and all about sharing means it's right p Linux user's alley.

The 30+ demographic not sure, maybe just people a bit grown up and now under as much peer pressure to be on the more popular corporate platforms.

No. Not really. But I’m sure it did a month ago.

According to this poll, fediverse definitely skews older. There's some sample bias for whoever is in this guy's circles, but I think it's relatively valid.

Gen-X, and have been working in technology for 27 years. I run windows as a daily driver but also am running a few host machines in my house with multiple Linux VMs. It's a mix of RockyOS, Ubuntu and arch VMs. Not a single GUI on any of them.

Woo im glad to see so much diversity.

On a side note, I feel attacked.

Is picking a server/federation too complicated?

Yes, but because 90% of the fediverse is older tech nerds, good luck getting them to acknowledge it.
