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

    In addition to the issues others have pointed out, reddit was like this back in the day too. It’s not that weird, even if it is true.
