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?

Fucking zoomers with their tiktoks and snapchats, what was so wrong with old school forums?

What's wrong with old school forums is that they don't have a proper UI for threaded discussions, every comment on a post is at the same level and you have to read it all in chronological order instead of in a flow that matches how people are talking to each other. Lemmy isn't an old school forum, it's a new school forum. Threaded discussions are awesome and way better for finding information or staying on your choice of topic.

Usenet and mailing lists always had threaded view.

I can't use old school forums anymore. It's so damn specific and it's limited to power hungry mods and their lackey's. Lemmy seems like a good spot but it's not fully adobted yet. Like the early days of Reddit.
