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.

The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.
Very few people will care about that.
What will get Lemmy burned to the ground and everyone hauled off to camps are all the tankies roleplaying that the Great Revolution will begin any day now and all the open threats of violence against political figures. People don’t even TRY to be safe, they seem to want their door kicked down and I can’t comprehend how sheltered and naive so many people must be to think this is fine and safe.
