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 would say lemmings age are 25 to 45. People in this range are, in my experience, the most technologically educated.
Gen Z is somehow terrible with anything outside basic android/ios.

You are leaving out all of GenX....we kind of understand tech, we built the shit you are using.

Most Gen X people I know from work (developers), hate to use new stuff. For example, Slack or GIt doesn't exist for them, and use call/sms and usb/email instead. Some of them learned facebook and stayed on it.

It's almost like the shit we learned when we learned this shit is the shit we tend to know our whole lives. Shit.
