What is the ratio of women to men at Lemmy?

Your guesses

New tech is usually a sausage party at first.

My wild guess is it’s about 75/25 right now.
Does it matter?
- It's always good to know who your audience is. Different people have different biases, different experiences, different world views, etc.
  
  I wonder why the topic deserved a minus in the ranking?
  
  Sure...but it can change in a matter of seconds rendering this not accurate anyways, plus people can change their 'gender' if they feel like it. I just don't see an intelligent reason why it matters of an anonymous public forum.
I guess roughly 60/40 men to women (and a good amount of non-binary people), based on the conversations I’ve had about gender here
- -waves nonbinarily

Why is this getting such a controversial vote ratio?
- Reading my comments below (including the not too much downvoted ones) should bring you close to an answer.
  
  I must be too dumb then, but thanks for answering
More men than women like most sites. Probably 70/30.
I asked a couple of months ago and it was about 60m/40f, and age landed with over half being 30-55.
I'd say I'm about 82% man and 17% woman. Beats me what the remaining 1% should be called. Maybe "cabinet"??
I'd go classic pareto 80/20 and make it 70/20/10 with non binary in the mix.
Exactly 10 women for every man ideally here and everywhere else including in real life 😆
- It's not very funny. But I didn't give you a minus)
  
  Thanks for this. Anyway I notice I got zero upvote. So at this point, it doesn't change much. (you got my upvote).
  
  But I really do think it would be nice to have this ratio in society. I do believe woman are more peaceful. So I suppose it could make a more egalitarian world with less wars.
  
  You may have heard of those societies where only woman can own houses and land. Those societies are very peaceful from documentaries I have watched.
