@chris @LALegault I'm not sure what could be done... How do you technologically discourage misogyny? Or any form of hate, really?
Instance policies against it, and active moderation helps. But I wouldn't call that a technological solution.
In the end, exposure to the thing you prejudicely hate is the best medicine, so some sort of "propaganda" campaign (in the utmost neutral sense of that word) of amazing women could be something, I suppose. A viral #hashtag campaign for #StrongWomen or something?
(Of course it shouldn't be necessary to be a paradigm of your gender identity to garner respect. But there's an abundance of Big Strong Men being glorified, so maybe it's something?)
Edit: of course, being decentralized, there isn't one central body to encourage people to use this Hashtag. That could be an example of an effort being made to make it better for women here... The #Mastodon team, I suppose. But they don't speak for the #Fediverse as a whole.
