But on Lemmy I'm fairly certain the demographic is at least 80% male in the same way there's an over-representation of Linux users. If you assume a user is male you're going to be right the vast majority of the time. It's not sexism it's statistically a reasonable guess.

I didn't say or imply anything about behavior. Just that merely having the assumption is not sexist. I didn't even say people should have that assumption, just that it's statistically reasonable which it is. Your comment here does more to chase people away than what I said. Now I see why a lot of people block hexbear.

Just stop using gender specific pronouns at all. Makes things much simpler

Know what else makes things much simpler?

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
