It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

My least favorite things about it aren’t really specific to lemmy. It’s just the victimhood/doomerism culture here, that generates a ton of hateful angry commentary and the witchhunt mentality of so many of the users is revolting behavior.
But I’m not angry at the world and using lemmy to cope I guess. Like OG reddit, I mostly want to use lemmy to read interesting commentary on interesting events and stories and try and learn something, or articulate and add new POV to discussions. Unfortunately the cultural at large… hates this and sees all arguments/perspectives as a zero sum game where anyone who isn’t confirming/supporting them 100% must also be denying them.
I also don’t get the endless moralizing. I liked a lot how early reddit wasn’t full of moralizing types, and I really hated it when those types of people gained traction and started playing comment police.
