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 agree with this, but we'd need to draw lines in the analogy. For example, my CS students struggle with downloading and installing a program and don't know how to locate find files that they've saved in a text editor. We'd be concerned if the people driving didn't know where their turn signal was, hah.

A lot of students grew up using Chromebooks as their primary computer, so they're largely limited to app stores and web browsers.
