The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:
-
~30 years old or older
-
tech enthusiasts/workers
-
linux users
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 left Reddit because I like browsing on my phone while pooping. They took that away from me.
If YouTube forces me to remove AdBlock, I’ll leave that too. And if Windows 11 forces me to create a Microsoft account then I’m moving to Linux.
But yes I’m 39, I run a tech repair shop, but I’m not on Linux… Yet.

You can also use Revancced on Android. Or Firefox with uBlock.
YouTube ReVanced gang 😎
Firefox uBlock Origin Gang 😅
That’s a nice gang. Does it also skip in-video ads?
Most of the stuff I watch doesn’t have sponsorships. And for those that do, I always instictively fastforward. I just love my browser too much to use an app.
A roundabout way of saying no. I was hoping that sponsor block could be used in the browser
@StinkyDave i recommend NewPipe for youtube and ViMusic for yt music, both are FOSS
In before people start throwing Lin distros at you… Also the best Linux distro is Arch.
