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?
Then you’ll really like to hear that not only do I edit the file with vim on the production server, but I did it as root after a “sudo su”… and then I committed the change from prod… with svn… only so that I could bring my dev environment up to speed with what is now in production with an svn update.
