Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Not to be That Person but if we could maybe as a community try and avoid the very Reddit assumption that everyone is male, that would be awesome ;)

That'd be nice. Also, let's ditch the Reddit generalisation that everyone is American!

I think you mean "generalization".

I'd assume that those words are generally meant in a gender neutral way. Maaaybe no bro, but Dude and Comrade are definitely gender neutral. I used to refer to Dudes and Chicks, but chicks got upset at that so now I just go for the Good Burger definition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSs7J7O_fl4

Sorry, I must have missed this one. Was it a question that you discovered was answered in one of the sources?
