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'm Gen Z, don't use Linux, don't know the first thing about programming (I know how to use file explorer though), and never intend to learn, and I'm here because I don't wanna use the official Reddit app and because I'm convinced that the Fediverse is likely to become big in the future and I wanna be able to say I was here when it all began.

This is me as well. gen z, hate that trillion dollar corporations run our social media. The fediverse is the future.

I know how to use file explorer though

What are the kids being taught that this is worth mentioning???

According to what I have heard, other elite hacker skills that are at risk of getting lost in the younger generations include searching on Google and using e-mail.

Gen-Z doesn't even know there is more than one search engine.

Idk I just heard that apparently knowing how to use file explorer is considered impressive in modern CS classes

Unfortunately, computer literacy seems surprisingly rare in the younger generations…
