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 left Reddit because I like browsing on my phone while pooping. They took that away from me.

If YouTube forces me to remove AdBlock, I'll leave that too. And if Windows 11 forces me to create a Microsoft account then I'm moving to Linux.

But yes I'm 39, I run a tech repair shop, but I'm not on Linux... Yet.

In before people start throwing Lin distros at you... Also the best Linux distro is Arch.

You can also use Revancced on Android. Or Firefox with uBlock.

That's a nice gang. Does it also skip in-video ads?

Most of the stuff I watch doesn't have sponsorships. And for those that do, I always instictively fastforward. I just love my browser too much to use an app.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A roundabout way of saying no. I was hoping that sponsor block could be used in the browser
