I seriously thought I could get friends online. if I can't get friends irl I won't have a higher chance online. it's just a different place but I haven't changed.

@lucy there's a notable difference in the amount of misogyny and sexism I receive when it's blatant I'm a woman. when I used other pictures I was treated differently. I would rather know straight up who is a sexist and who isn't

@terryenglish @lucy when I went by a generally gender neutral persona, people would rarely insult me and if they did it would be a one off after an argument. I now have a few people who repeatedly harass me and seem to be obsessed with trying to scare me or knock me down a peg. well, their loss. their lack of confidence in themselves is not my problem.

@lucy it means that fedi can be intimidating for women when they read the onslaught of general misogyny from a lot of users. if you favour the free speech side of fedi the majority of users appear to be men in the tech field or with interest in tech. I hope to make it more welcoming for women in particular who may find that intimidating.

@Ox @lucy I think a lot of that depends on who you follow. I made the mistake of setting my Fediverse instance up to relay freespeechextremist. Pleroma is buggy so I can't undo that, now. As a result, my feed is full of 70-somethings railing about how we need to deport all the darkies. That'd be me.

@reg @lucy of course. however the majority of fedi can be split into generally supports free speech and supporting strict censorship. the former tends to lean right and the latter, far left. as a left leaning person on the free speech side, you can encounter some very interesting situations.

@Ox @terryenglish a few years ago I played SL using a female character, because 1) why would I choose a generic male hulk-like lumberjack and 2) there's like 10 times as much stuff like clothing (from which are only like a 1/4 retarded lewd stuff, means it's 3/4 decent clothes) and other equipment for female characters. later I switched to a male character to get a reference to what I observed.as a female character I did receive more insults, but the majority of people where much more friendly. I could just talk to strangers, just start a normal conversation without being insulted or simply ignored. also people started to talk to me when passing by. as a male character nobody would start talking to you which is exactly like in reality. I've met a lot of nice people, after a few weeks I knew places and items other players (male characters) didn't know about after playing for years. you could argue it's just a game, but SL is about people doing what they want without the bounds of reality. it reflects how they'd act in real life if they wouldn't have to care about stuff like consequences or time, like in any game.I hope no one will take this as "evidence" for whatever argument, this is a simple observation and not a scientific study.

@Ox @lucy I honestly hope they are not intimidated. In fedi or in tech. I work in a tech career and find most women in my field to be pretty damned brilliant. Same ratio of brilliance to arrogance as male techs, in fact. :)I honestly think the days of the tech gap are coming to a close. As older people retire the older attitudes are, as well. Women who came up with tech in the era of companies like Big Blue are tough, smart, mercenary cutthroats but they had to be and I find it respectable.One of my own greatest mentors and teachers in this industry was a woman and she will have my love and respect for an eternity. If she was 25 or 30 years younger I would have begged her to marry me and she would have laughed her ass off because she was a homosexual. There should be no recognition of sex in tech. A computer, a network, a device, a CPU, a phone or whatever does not care what plumbing you have or who you want to be with or what god you believe in or whatever. There is only GIGO.As for the fedi... well. Just have fun with it like Ox does I reckon.

I understand. I tend to self-identify in a similar way (left-leaning politically but pro-free-speech). That said, while I support free speech, I am under no delusions about it. Speech (free or otherwise) is usually quite stupid. Remove consequences and give people anonymity and it becomes even stupider. The Fediverse is something I dreamed of as a life-long free-speecher. A decentralized, censorship-proof distributed-system with almost no limits on speech and almost no ability to police that speech. Incredible. Now it's here and I can't stand the place most of the time. A bunch of geriatric children yelling "nigger kike faggot paki feminazi bitches" over and over again. Be careful what you wish for, as the saying goes.@Ox @lucy @alex @seanking

@MisterRogersSnapped @lucy I agree with you completely. however a few years ago I would not have had the confidence to use fedi the way I do now and it's in part due to a lot of the way I see women treated online. nowadays I don't care. but for people now who were like me I want to make them feel more welcome.

@lucy I personally find it hard to get attached to anyone really, I just see everyone pass by, and talk to them, some of them I like and talk more often, but never "main" them or get more closer.Like who would I choose to be close with? If so, how do I communicate that to them? Those are issues with not being confident enough or being socially awkward.

@Ox @terryenglish @lucy I've never had this experience and I've always gone by gender neutral pronouns. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to tell people not to gender me. Yet still, I receive no harassment, with the exception of one time I was stalked by someone from dickkickextremist. You are simply abrasive and deliberately seek out places to be a punching bag to appease your own sense of self-importance. It is contemptible that you would abuse the good name of our community to appease your sense of victimhood. How someone with you personality has any friends on here at all would be a mystery if not for your profile picture. No surprise then that you insist on keeping it.
