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?

    “Everything is tinged with technology aspect.”

    Which is how Reddit was at first, too, no? It took a long time for Reddit to get to its peak (and subsequent fall). I hope Lemmy can get there and I hope I can help!

      Same thing with digg.com before it got too popular. huge influx of class clowns type of comments that grew on digg so more people went to Reddit to join more test discussion.
