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 agree. My politics, thoughts and feelings change over time and it makes me uncomfortable to be potentially judged for things later and not be able to delete that isn't ideal, even if I'm the only one reading it.

What I don't like is that so much content is spread between so many different places, this along with the complexity of it all as a new user is intimidating.

I think we're asking a lot of non technically minded people to use the fediverse and that is hurting adoption.

Having said that something I like about it is that it's smaller and people actually "communicate" with me here which isn't really a thing on reddit anymore.
