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?

I tried helping my ex brother in law over the phone and he couldn't grasp the concept of right clicking. I told him to just hold on and I would help him when I was back in town.

I know he knows how to right click but when given the instruction to right click on something he somehow forgets what a right click is.
