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?

Ikr, ever since I was kid I was told that I am part of generation that knows it's way around tech. Growing up and realizing that most of gen z can't comprehend simple IT related concepts was... disappointing.

Though at least they are aware that they need to remember their own passwords (looking at you boomers).

I've known about basic computer knowledge since I was a little kid, sneaking around playing half life 2 because my mom wouldn't let me. It's astonishing to me that some people don't understand even the surface level of how a computer works

Most people don't understand even the surface level of how a car works, but it's not needed, they can drive. Same with computers, you don't need to understand how they work in order to use them, thanks to MS & Apple (no, I will not include Linus Torvalds).

Sure, but with something so powerful and versatile at your fingertips, you'd think more people would at least want to know a little more
