For some reason during this exodus, at least as far as QOTO is concerned, I've noticed a very large portion of people coming in are women scientists. Sadly women seem to be a minority representation in STEM, so seeing this makes me happy as I think women bring a lot to STEM communities.
That said, I am left curious why... what about this exodus has more women in STEM migrating than usual.. Is musk in some way seen as more abrasive to women than he is to men?
@freemo the environment on Twitter is def more toxic towards women!
@jeremysayz @freemo I did find Twitter to be oddly hostile. A lot of weird comments on appearance, a lot of weird creepy dms. I am very new to mastodon but I hope it is better here.
@jeremysayz @freemo in a way, I feel like a lot of bullying and harassment happens on twitter in clusters/cliques... social circles that stick together. So maybe it'll not be much different, except for the fact that there's actual moderation here.
