With the recent issues of Tea (teaforwomen.com) posting unsecured user data, it's easy to spot the heavy bias of male users in the comments. With a 90% male demographic, Lemmy will face problems related to a homogeneous user population and all the issues that come with it. Right now, it's shaping up to be misogynistic, but it could also head into other bad places. Lemmy needs to attract a more diverse population of users or will end up as another echo chamber for the like minded. https://www.similarweb.com/website/lemmy.ml/#demographics
I'd say there's a lot bigger problems with .ml's user base than what that site is looking at too...
.ml is the r/conservative of the left
Not fair, conservatives show up to vote and therefore get more of their agenda done. Those tankies would leave us all for dead as long as it they keep their perceived purity.
Marx said democracy is a tool for the bourgeois /s
And yet the tankies argue DPRK and CCP are democracies...
Still, minimizing harm is helpful to growing our progressive movements.
Too true
