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?
My personal opinion as a trans girl? We need to stop pretending that social networks are THE solution. We need a balance between social networks and anti-social networks. And by “anti-social networks”, I mean traditional blogs.
Funny thing is, Fediverse is actually very well equipped to deal with Blogosphere. The fact that you can easily ignore the other side is a feature, not a bug.
I agree! Also websites that are just personal (and personalised) internet “homes”. I made a community for Neocities a few days ago just for that reason. To hopefully get some people who feel overwhelmed with finding a hoster etc. to try and make their own little website.
The web has become too commercialised and competitive I think…
