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?

Jaja I understand the need for time, we will see how things develop.

Just as an aside note, the idea of "at least my racist uncle won't join" is lowkey funny to me. It shouldn't matter if he joins, we have tools for banning and most people should already shun that behavior. After all, it's not like racism is safeguarded against because we keep normies out, at least two huge instances on the fediverse currently (or forks from it) are alt right cesspools. And I have seen a few andrew tate fans and also some racist pricks both over at madtodon and here, it's not like only kind people join this kind of places, but as long as we moderate properly it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Oh I definitely expect racists to show up and get handled. I meant specifically my racist uncle. Fuck you, Roy.
