In the context of the internet at large seeming to believe every user is male? I'd say that's still standard practice here even if it's not as prevalent an assumption as on other social media. How much that matters though is subjective.

on lemmy world? Not terribly much. On blahaj zone? Probably a bit more.
Not at all! What matters is the person and what they have to say. If it's good content I'll upvote and chime in! 😃
I'd say zero because I don't give a single fuck what anyone is. I hardly believe you aren't bots lol
That said if the specific thread is asking for the specific opinion or experience of someone of a particular sort, then genuine replies are valuable for the purpose of that conversation
I'm pretty sure everyone here is a cis man or trans woman, and I think the communities reflect that (noncredible defence = military memes, politics, computer nerd stuff, greentexts, anime nerd stuff), and tbh I can't imagine any of the cis women in my life being interested in anything on lemmy
The shills and bots from Hexbear love using it as a wedge to divide people, so I'd say it's very important to them
Not a lot as far as I can tell?
Most of the time it's not too big of a deal but sometimes it's very clear that it's a male dominated social media, like when the pay gap between men and women is mentioned
Although I block a lot of content because of depression...I don't care at all. I care for honest participation and positive intention if that makes any sense, no matter who you are...many folks impress me on the fediverse and I strive to be better like them.
Not much at all.
zero
I don't really think it matters. I can only think of trans leftists, but I think the trans leftists would be leftist whether they are trans or not.
Zero percent.
I'm pretty skeptical so, I’m not sure I’d believe everyone even if they told me.
