Better than reddit is a pretty low bar. I havent lived anywhere low enough to reach it without a shovel in years now.

Lemmy does have a misogyny problem. Haven't tracked per server.

I'm a man. So can't conclusively comment on it.

The sexism I've seen is so over the top, as the person talking about tankies here is. That it feels like obvious trolls or sarcasm.

I'm sure its there. But i would not have said Lemmy has a sexism problem had someone asked me.

But then again. No direct experience for me.

As an enby who’s played around with both masculine and feminine pronouns on the lemmyverse, there’s a more subtle strain as well. People assuming you don’t know things or explaining things to you excessively. Getting more DMs. And a kind of centering of cis men that still happens even in more feminist and trans-inclusive spaces within threads that cover certain topics.

I don't doubt this at all. agony-4horsemen But I think it's just lemmy being a reflection of real life rather than something that developed as part of lemmy culture, as well as lemmy culture inheriting from reddit-logo, where that kind of behavior is endemic.

Ah. Alright. Didn't know about that.
