I do quite firmly believe I have witnessed the death rattles of Reddit with this dystopian data farming nonsense. Absolutely nothing is worth this belittling monitoring shite.

More women and more people of color would help balance some of the male-dominated takes that are often supported and uplifted here. There's a lot of sexism and racism that is tolerated or at least appears tolerated because there's no visible pushback.

More diversity leads to humanizing others and reducing hate being directed at certain groups.

    Yeah, that's why I joined a queer instance

    It would be cool to have some queer representation spread out as well. I don't like the idea of allowing the jerks to be the predominant voice in such a space like this when there's a lot of other people I'd love to hear from instead.

    I don't have the spoons to teach others not to be assholes anymore. I use social spaces in small doses and bursts.

    Very understandable! I hope your corners of the internet continue to be supportive and fun :)

    i had a wierd ban from blahaj the other week, dint realize they were this annoying as the startrek website dude. i think alot of the lgbtq+ went back to reddit, once the large instance shut down last year.

    i think most of them are on reddit, and they usually are niche enough they dont get too much attention, i think its a good thing though, because too much attention will just draw into many homophobes.

    Eh, I think this place is populated primarily by cis white men and that can have an effect on what type of comments and posts are tolerated.

    Could be. I haven't seen any demographic data. There does seem to be a lot of LGBTQ+ people, but that could just be the forums I'm using.

    Well, I didn't mention anything about sexual orientation in my comment, but yeah there does seem to be more LGBTQ+ people than the average here. I still think it's mostly cis white men.

    Maybe that's because of your own prejudices.

    No, I really think that’s the majority demographic here. Like statistically, not emotionally.

    Could you define sexism/racism? It's gotten to the point where those words are like "woke" and can mean anything to anyone.
