Elaborate. You’re saying my comment has a bad generalization? Do you think that Lemmy’s demographic appeal wasn’t primarily towards males with niche usually tech-related interests? Or are you surprised that large parts of said nerdy male demographic (e.g. gamers, techbros, cryptobros, webdevs/software devs) often have sexist/misogynistic views and objectify/sexualize/"other"ify women significantly more than your average leftist, even if they don’t think they do?

If it’s the latter, do you really think that the claim large communities of mostly male gamers, techbros, and the like are often known for harboring much misogynist thinking, so it makes sense for that to carry over to a site which those groups primarily compose is baseless?

Or was your issue something else completely unrelated to the site’s former demographics and the general tendencies of technology-related communities?

Was it me saying that sexist attitudes are extremely common on the site? Because I did base that on numerous observations of users treating women like a different species and casually using very degrading sexist language when speaking about women. And people taking generalizations of women to the extreme, which seeing as you apparently hate generalizations you’d probably love to argue with them for. And people constantly complaining about women’s “privilege” and seemingly blaming them for men’s societal issues. What made me realize that I’m not just getting a bad sample is when I went to look on communities on Lemmy for women & non-binary folks and the literal first threads I saw were saying how they experienced the same things, like these, although they’re tamer than much of the stuff I sometimes see:
