      Eh, the women I know in tech aren’t particularly interested in self-hosting. Not sure why, but women seem to have a stronger separation between work and hobbies, whereas the men I work with often do personal projects at home related to their work. I think the women I work with would be more than capable, they just seem uninterested.

        I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.

          That’s also a huge part of it. Statistically, the women you see in technical positions probably picked it in college instead of being a hobby as a kid, so they see it more as a career than a hobby. Hopefully that’s the case, because I’d love to see more women get into it.

            The industry needs some diversity. Before it was all white men and now you can break down 80% of the industry into a few groups.

      Wonder how the survey was sent out and whether that affected sampling.

      Regardless, with -3-4k responses, that’s disappointing, if not concerning.

      I only have a more personal sense for Lemmy. Do you have a source for Lemmy gender diversity?

      Anyway, what do you think are the underlying issues? And what would be some suggestions to the community to address them?

      I do wonder how many within the man/woman responses are trans, too.

      Idk if that survey was mainly advertised on lemmy, but i know that at least one instance that did a survey had maybe 2% woman respondents, but more than two thirds of those were transfem.

      Either way, a little disconcerting. I’m not sure what to make of that or what (if anything) to do about it

        Who cares if they are trans? The more interesting question is what would make women generally more likely to self host? More free time? Different applications? Actually having a job in IT? Being single?

    I can’t see any of the graphs. The show as a black box.

    This despite disabling Canvas Blocker on the page for testing. According to my briwser, loading the resources from “cdn.jsdelivr.net” is blocked due to a CORS failure.

    Aren there by any chance image dumps of the charts in any normal graphics image format? Or even jpeg-xl, for variety.
