@mekkaokereke If we REALLY want to encourage growth & diversity, we should realize we're inheriting some bad demographics here at Mastodon. Platforming aging developers and niche influencers is valuable, yes... but in a limited way.
We SHOULD be focusing on younger demographics.
Which is another reason why we should be careful of a solution that leans ageist, without showcasing diversity and youth, when they're a LOT of our future going forward.
We lost the short game. Let's win the long one.
