Also, think about who is here. Stats for Lemmy.ml say that it’s freaking 90% male and about 40% from the US.

We have a pretty thin slice of the pie here. I’m not saying that this is right, but it does explain why you see such a concentration of bad behavior. Also, the age group for Lemmy is primarily 30-39.

The reality is when you have a concentration of any one demographic group, you’re going to see this sort of thing. With a lack of diversity across all categories, you get yet another echo chamber. Unless we get some more people in here who are not more of the same, Lemmy is going to turn into 4chan real fast.
