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?
There has to be at least one celebrity that would rather be surfing the fediverse than doing celebrity stuff with other hot celebrities. I would be shocked to find out it was Margot Robbie, but not shocked if it was Nicholas Cage.
It's fun seeing your username pop up in so many things.. been a while since I regularly happened upon comments from the same folks over and over all over a site.
It's interesting phase on fediverse, not hard to be well-known right now. I've certainly remember some usernames from seeing them at unrelated communities in different instances and they're aren't even trying to be popular, just leave thoughtful comments a lot.
