With more people joining Lemmy and other decentralised networks there is a growing shift to the common misogyny and sexism we find on other social media networks (YouTube, Reddit, etc.).
I think it’s pretty obvious that the reason is that there are even less women here than other places online. What are your ideas on how to change that? Or do you feel it is a lost cause?
The optimist in me thinks that Lemmy might be just copying the growth of Reddit. Reddit used to be similar to modern Lemmy (read: just a bunch of programmers/early adopters) but eventually got a broader appeal and tons of hobby communities got popular.
