@Tamtam @_elena I agree. That's one of the reasons I would like to explore and discuss this topic. I think it's important for the Fediverse to be more diverse in order to succeed, and this space is far from diverse. Just consider the number of people from the global south, as another group largely misrepresented here.
@everton137 @_elena I totally agree with you. a lot is missing. But I don't tthink discussing it among ourselves is teh way forward. You may be aware of how the meta and co are pressing their apps into the markets in countries without western infrastructure. They have a monopoly there. And thy fulfill the wishes of authoritarian leaders. Open source depends on a democratic environment. If you have any suggestion I'm m all ears. I support the general efforts around DDay and such.

In a recent comparison of engagement around a Leave.X campaign post,[1] someone pointed out that a female journalist who is active in the feminist movement and critical of Big Tech had a very different experience than others.
The Mastodon post was shared twice, while the Bluesky version was shared over 200 times and received significantly more interactions. This raises questions about tech-savvy spaces like Mastodon and how they reflect broader societal issues.
For women on Mastodon:
Do you feel that the patriarchal dynamics and male behavior in this space, which is still largely dominated by white men, make it harder for women to participate?

@everton137 My experience here is different from other spaces, in that I run an instance, and work to build a community that is inclusive. I have agency here that I don't have anywhere else.
I hope that the community I strive to support feels that support. We are far from perfect. But we try. And I take my responsibilities here seriously.

@Tamtam @_elena Brazil had some leadership on open source matters several years ago. It faded away somehow.
I left the country ten years ago, but it would be interesting to understand why the Fediverse use is so weak.
Lots of people from my non profit bubble in Brazil preferred to migrate to BlueSky.
As an example, in my field, open government data, the Open Government Partnership started in Brazil.
Tagging, in case some Brazilian living there could have a more sound opinion: #Brazil #Fediverse #Mastodon #SoftwareLivre #Brasil
Ideas, @josemurilo ?

@everton137 my theory is that Mastodon/Fediverse rewards follower numbers way more than Bluesky. A Mastodon account with lots of followers like LeaveX gets its posts shared massively, while a Mastodon account with few followers gets its posts shared rarely at all. Bluesky is way more balanced in the middle for most accounts in my experience.

Mastodon and Bluesky have totally different algorithms, any conclusions based on ONE post is utterly meaningless. Run an experiment with several accounts and several posts, then we talk

@everton137 the humourless mansplaining on here is ridiculous. I don’t think it’s the misogyny of Twitter, but the cluelessness of the undersocialised. I know women on here who say they won’t post publicly because of those kind of replies. I can see why Bluesky is more appealing for many.

@everton137 I doubt that this has much to do with gender. It is more about topics and communities.
However, in general, women have less leisure time than men. And in the Fediverse, you need to put more effort in curating your feed than on Bluesky.
