On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.
@fesshole I normally only stay on certain sides of the Linux community, mostly super queer ones, so I forgot how very non-progressive so much of it is.

@doraii @fesshole The Linux community is probably the most extreme community ever (as a bi furry myself). Excluding the people who use it for their job.

You get the extremely "Don't Tread on Me" individualistic conservatives and then the more collectivist, very gay side which has the vibe of a cheesey cyberpunk film (in a good way) who are responsible for like 80% of the projects people care about.

Surprisingly the Venn diagram isn't entirely seperate.
