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?

That always happens when a new platform is born.

Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don't mind the quirks, they're not scared of bugs or instabilities.

They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn't even know about it.

Reddit used to put their source code on GitHub and people would go in and help fixing bugs or use it to understand the quirk of the system so they can better integrate their 3rd party apps and bots. I still can't believe they threw away all of those community goodwill.

We saw it as community, they saw it as free labor.
