Benefits of being a lesbian ๐
But yeah, lemmynsfw definitely can be a bit of a sausage fest. The Fediverse and Lemmy especially are niche enough that a lot of the users are techy types (like yours truly, heh) which does tend to still bring a gender bias with it.
If you have the spoons for it, you could occasionally post the kind of stuff you'd like to see? It might feel like shouting into the void since yeah, not a lot of women here (probably more gay guys), but every change has to start somewhere, right?
Might have to create and mod communities though, which is a whole 'nother can of worms if posting isn't restricted
This could just as well have been written by me. Especially the bit about how "people who know themselves and are unapologetically authentic about it are just lovely" really resonates with me; one of the benefits of being middle aged is that people do tend to sort of find themselves as they get older, and just be way less stressed about how they seem to others.
