There are 27 photos at the bottom on mobile? Who are these people? If these are example profiles I would try to get a more diverse and inclusive grouping. There is not a woman in the 27 and ideally it would be 50/50
Does it make sense to speak about the composition of a group without understanding what the group membership represents?
Eg: what if that's the list of people who gave him financial support building it? What if it's his buddies from the Navy SEALS? Perhaps it's a list of sexual predators in his area? Should it still be 50/50…
Though I agree it's not clear what those pics on the bottom represent.
These are simply the most recent users who have signed up, and unfortunately the the HN demographic is pretty male...
“Unfortunately”.
What a ridiculous culture we’ve built if this sentiment is widely accepted. Just bizarre.
Nothing bizarre about it; Diverse viewpoints tend to strengthen a community, so considering it unfortunate that HN doesn't benefit from a broader demographic distribution is pretty defensible.
