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 also feel like Reddit skewed slightly more towards this demographic then a lot of other social media sites did. Like that's not to say that you didn't have this demographic on Facebook or Twitter, but Reddit always felt (to me at least) like it more aligned with the sensibilities of this crowd in part because of some of the same factors mentioned above. So I think a lot of the folks who ended up here tended to be the techier edge of the already preexisting techie bias that existed on Reddit.
