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.

I feel like they’re distinctly separate things, and I thought I’d communicated as much. Oh, well.
That seems like… a little much. I do agree that upvotes/downvotes indeed gamify the system, but on the whole would say that the end-effect on Reddit results in a big bunch of hoomons acting in typical hoomon ways, which is with deep undercurrents of fickle, ignorant, selfish, feel-good behavior.
Yeah, I get that, but I do observe that there are advantages to upvote/downvote that indeed work better on a larger scale. I’m not sure they’re really needed on a smaller scale.
I’d say I agree with most of the things you wrote, but remain unconvinced that upvote/downvote is so absolutely toxic as to merit tossing. And of course, I don’t think it’s going to happen, anyway.
Aggregate behaviour amongst naked apes? Yeah, I would tend to agree. Now what?

We’re doing a great job of that ourselves, so mission accomplished?
I’ve been on Reddit for 10yrs, and the Fediverse for the past 2.5yrs, and don’t see that changing anytime soon. I’m also skeptical as to the FV ever matching Reddit in terms of variety and bulk of content. The situation just is what it is.

He didn’t patent that expression, far as I know.
