I admit it’s hard to tell. But Lemmy users aren’t a random selection of Americans - they lean white, male, urban, liberal or leftist, and significantly more technologically savvy than the average person (which is why they use Lemmy in the first place - don’t forget how many users are Reddit refugees who left because they knew enough about Reddit’s policies, and had strong enough opinions about them, to want to leave). And that demographic is quite likely to engage in, or passively benefit from, the gentrification of low income urban areas.
