@Sbectol Maybe, I havent heard of it if so, but certainly possible.

@Sbectol ahh, that is interesting...

@Sbectol Yea it seems it might be something specific to STEM

@jeremysayz Perhaps that is it. Though from what I'm seeing/hearing this seems to be unique to STEM... other instances are seeing a more even break down between men and women.

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?

@TheStrugglingScientists

Nno worries at all, it happenns. Its great having you and look forward to your contributions here.

By the way if you do wish to bot-post here (post unattended) you can do that. But you must mark yourself as a bot and set your posts to unnlisted.

@khird @trinsec

@TheStrugglingScientists

No problem. Keep in mind cross posting from twitter to the fediverse is highly discouraged (partly for reasons like this). At QOTO it is technically allowed but we require your QOTO account to be monitored, responsive, and to follow and interact with users in the fediverse. If we find that your account is auto-posting from twitter to here without logging in here or being active here, it will be against our rules.

so yea, as long as you stay active here and dont just spam-post from twitter, and as long as you dont advertise here, then you are more than welcome to be here.

@Suiseiseki @lupyuen

@pokerface@sfba.social To be honest I would much rather pay money to use twitter and get rid of the ads... Though im probably alone in that opinion.

> Everything I've written about is from my own experience, the article is just an excellent explanation of the issue.

I have no doubt you are basing it off your experience. While I respect yur opinion I also know it to be incorrect from my own experience.

> If GNU didn't exist, we wouldn't have a free software OS. You may not care about freedom, but don't you dare deny it exists.

Not once did anyone claim GNU didnt exist, not once.

> In my experience, in most situations Linux is brought up, Linux is actually irrelevant to the topic and other software is of relevance and should be named instead

Thats because you assume people mention linux mean only the kernel in isolation, rather than the full expiernce of using the kernel... Usually what they mean is something more like "I like being on linux regardless of what user land I use with it the experience is great as long as I use linux in some form i am enjoying it". The userland may be needed to work and is even part of what is enjoyed, but it isnt the relevant aspect to mention.

> If you do that, then it's *more* important to mention such usage, not less, so people know what you are talking about.
If you use BusyBox+Linux, say you use BusyBox+Linux.

Not at all, because whatever alternative I choose isnt relevant to what I and most people say.. We dont CARE what userland is being used when people refer to linux generically, as long as its linux the choices around it largely arent as important, we are happy if it is built on linux.

> I'm not getting angry, I just point out mistakes.
If you refer to the OS as just "Linux", you are either making a mistake or intentionally being wrong pretty much.

It is not a mistake, just as it isnt a mistake when someone says "I love running windows" and are really implying they love using things like Microsoft edge and Microsoft word on a windows system. The microsoft lovers love the experience of being on windows, and that includes all the things built on top of it, nnot just the core os.
