An eye-catching new study shows just how different the experience of walking home at night is for women versus men.

The study, led by Brigham Young University public health professor Robbie Chaney, provides clear visual evidence of the constant environmental scanning women conduct as they walk in the dark, a safety consideration the study shows is unique to their experience.

    general Lemmy public

    Ah, that’s interesting to know. I’m on Kbin, which doesn’t federate downvotes (meaning, I can only see downvotes from kbin, and our downvotes don’t register on Lemmy).

    So from my interface their top-level comment is sitting on +7 upvotes and -3 downvotes. And my reply is on +12 upvotes and no downvotes.

    I gather from your comment that from your interface, it’s nothing like that.

    This has happened a few times now, I get the impression kbin is maybe a bit more progressive and lemmy.world is a bit more conservative-leaning.

      Very interesting. You’re right, mine is different from that. And I’ve definitely felt like I’ve been screaming into the wind around here sometimes. Maybe it’s about time I give kbin a shot before I shout myself hoarse, so to speak. Here’s my view, fwiw:

        @adj16 hit me up if you do, I’ll add you to my follow list.

        Kbin’s pretty chill tbh, the interface takes some getting used to but it has a thing like multireddits (“collections”) and can also interact with mastodon as well as the lemmys.

        Another option is you could go full curated/no downvotes on Beehaw.
