Yes, that algorithm is definitely way better! I’d argue though that people aren’t more considered here because they are nerds. Communities, such as the gaming and anime communities, are often one of the most misogynistic ones online. I think people are more considered here, because they are politically on the left.
I started using Lemmy just recently. I haven’t seen any sexism here so far. On reddit it’s a matter of minutes until something sexist appears on my feed, or other hateful stuff. That’s why I feel way more relaxed using Lemmy.
Lot’s of reasons, the list is quite long, you don’t really have to read that all x) :
*- cars maintenance is annoying
*- parking is annoying
*- on street parking and big parking lots are ugly and make places worse to live in
*-cars are extremely dangerous
*-cars are too loud
*-cars are bad for the environment
*-cars are an inefficient way to get around in most cases
*-there is too much car infrastructure
*-car infrastructure is really expensive, a lot of that tax money would be of better use elsewhere
*-I’d rather support public transport and the implementation of good bicycle and walking infrastructure
*-walking and riding a bike is healthy and can be really pleasant
*-I can read stuff while using public transport (like lemmy posts)
*-driving a car in big cities is scary and stressful
*-trains are cool
*-screw the car industry and their lobbying
*- in the few cases I do want to use a car, I can easily rent one
These are just the reasons from the top of my head, there are probably more.
