This week I wrote about fediverse as a countercultural place for pop culture, and how that affects goals to bring the fediverse into the mainstream

As well as the news:

  • @iftas announces that due to a lack of funding, they will likely have to wind down some crucial services for safety on the fediverse
  • Tapestry is a new "timeline" app by @Iconfactory

It’s fascinating that when a social media is created without algorithmic boosting of content, pop culture suffers.

Lemmy is also mostly male, not sure that's a consequence of the lack of algorithmic boosting of content.

In the case of Mastodon, I think an even bigger problem might have to do with age. Whenever I see an age poll on Mastodon it seems most of the user base there is older than the internet itself. It's hardly surprising that they are not very up to date on pop culture. That it's largely white and male of course adds to the problem.
