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?

I like to think we're all here like "hah hah, look it's Margot Robbie" and in a wild turn of events, find out that it actually was all along

No one will ever believe you.

omg I've been noticed by the Margo Robbie ;)

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Hi! It's "Margot" by the way.

There has to be at least one celebrity that would rather be surfing the fediverse than doing celebrity stuff with other hot celebrities. I would be shocked to find out it was Margot Robbie, but not shocked if it was Nicholas Cage.

Yeah, we did try to get Nic Cage to play a Barbie, but apparently there are roles that even he won't do.

[-] kmkz_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

This is where the illusion falls apart because Nic Cage would totally play Barbie.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's what we all thought too, I for one was pretty disappointed.

Maybe you can ask him to play a Barbie in the sequel?

I know George Takei is on Mastodon, I'd love to see what celebs make it to Lemmy

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it's legit
