The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

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?

    Not sure how old your experience with Linux is, but gaming is really great nowadays, thanks to Valve and Steam Deck.

      As someone who only want to own games through DMR-free Stores, Steam really isn’t an option. Performance still isn’t great, mods often break, still needs a lot of manual adjustments from time to time to make a non-Linux game work. But thanks to Steam, there’ll be more games support Linux. Hopefully most of them won’t be steam exclusive.
