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?
Woah Usenet was used for other stuff than 1Gbps piracy?
It was mostly porn, like everything else.
Well yeah, text based message boards. There was an active belly dance community, so I am guessing there was a board for just about everything. Text based games too.
