Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)

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?

Huh, apparently the deletion wasn't propagated to my instance. If I follow the link to the original instance (lemmy.ca), I can see that it's deleted there, but on my instance (feddit.de) it's still visible.

I guess, the takeaway is that the deletion function in Lemmy isn't reliable.

Which brings us straight back to the topic ;)
