I’m under 20 years old (not gonna tell you the exact age), but both a linux user and a tech enthusiast. I strongly agree that the Fediverse needs people from all walks of life. Like Reddit. Personally, I think the key reason is that people don’t want to leave their comfort zone. “Hey, Mike, check out this social network called Lemmy!” “No, why would I use that? I’ve already got Reddit. That thing doesn’t even have a lot of users.”
