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.

I saw an old friend post a few years ago asking if anyone else's students didn't know what file directories were. And I don't mean freshman in a general class. This was a summer interns in a hard science. The responses to the post were essentially "yeah they only know how to search for files."

I really started using computers for more than gaming with windows 95, and it wasn't until college when I switched to Linux that I got serious about file directory hygiene, but even in those win95 days I knew where everything was on my computer. I fundamentally don't understand how you can use computers without understanding that.

These days even Minecraft mods are one click to install hundreds at a time. The average person can get by with nothing more than folders on their desktop.
