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?

Probably because tech enthusiasts are the only ones that care about their privacy so they use open source alternative before anyone else

There's nothing "private" about Lemmy though? In fact it's probably less private than reddit.

I think with privacy some people associate the collection and using of private data to create user profiles for advertising and algorithms. While you can see IP, votes etc. as an admin (the same goes for other forums including Reddit, btw), at the moment there is no huge company behind Lemmy which collects sensitive data about it's users.
