The Fediverse is still relatively "new" (in the sense that it really started gaining traction a few years ago) and the type of people you mentioned are just the first to know about it.
If we get enough support and the big problem social networks crack we'll probably get a more diverse crowd later on. I doubt the Fediverse will become mainstream but it's definitely more known now and becoming more popular.
I feel personally attacked.
2/3, and linux-curious so yes
I'm 27, though the latter two match.
Reddit started the same way and guess what happens once the mass started joining it
You got me on the 2nd two points
I actually like that, and I like this about the Fediverse in general: Nothing wrong with YA-oriented media, but I'd rather limit my own online time to stuff - and to a level of debate - that ideally is oriented exclusively towards the topics I'm most interested in, personally.
Well it's new open source tech that can be self hosted by the 30+ tech nerds that have the money and interest in it.
Not a tech nerd. But over 30 for sure.
a/s/l ?
Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn't paying the bills...
It's because Fediverse is very complicated right now. E-Mail wasn't, that's why everyone adopted it pretty quickly.
I honestly don't see a future where Lemmy topling Reddit or Mastodon topling Twitter.
Federation's greatest strength is also it's weakness imo.
Noooooo.
YES
get off my lawn
Just like Hacker News
