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?

Oh man, that's totally me! But I can't tell you why it is so appealing to my demographic. I don't know anyone IRL here and nothing about it seems like it would scare off everyone else...

BUT while we are all here:

Trapper Keepers
Garbage Pail Kids
Music on cassette tapes
Vim > Emacs

Vim is the best editor for editing directly on the server, but you really shouldn't be editing directly on the server.

Then you'll really like to hear that not only do I edit the file with vim on the production server, but I did it as root after a "sudo su"... and then I committed the change from prod.. with svn.. only so that I could bring my dev environment up to speed with what is now in production with an svn update.
