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.

    People actually paid attention to that number? I don’t get the point.

    The only time it matters is when you create a new account and can’t post anywhere due to low karma. Losing my points whenever I made a new account never concerned me one bit.

      It was kinda nice to gauge how controversial a user tended to be. i.e. if someone had thousands of posts and comments but their total karma was basically zero, you could assume that they either just posted in very niche communities and noone saw their posts, or that they were a shithead who farmed downvotes regularly.
      Actually now that I think about it, lemmy’s public modlog is a way better system for that haha
