Keep in mind, there are many valid reasons for tracking or things that can be utilized to track or fingerprint you. I however feel there’s no transparency, there is often no basis for trust for these websites and I feel they share/sell data with reckless abandon so it is from that angle I approach issues like these from.
Seriously, this is one of the biggest things that we do not need to come over from Reddit.
I hear this a lot and while I feel that’s a contributing factor I find it difficult to believe that sexism is the only explanation for the overwhelming male dominance in tech, and both tech and science tend to lean liberal.
The fediverse heavily leans towards men, as does Reddit opposed to TikTok and Instagram where those social media apps lean towards women. From what I understand men outnumber women 10:1 on the fediverse.
We are still in it’s infancy, the thing is even Reddit used to be this bad when it comes to that. I believe there’s here’s a certain point of critical mass that sites like these have to reach before you have a sustaining women population. But as the fediverse grows women focused communities are certain to grow albeit at a slower rate.
With that said keep expectations in check; while there’s no reason women can’t be as involved and active as men are it seems that sites focused on text-based forum discussions has a broader appeal towards males. Don’t understand why that is but it just means that it will lean towards males, so the demographics will always be skewed.
Can you not be weird, please
