20% of English Wikipedia's biographies are about women! This is a huge milestone, but there's so much more work to be done on notable women who are more than qualified for their own Wikipedia biography. Thank you to all of the editors who are taking part in this work 🫶 #gendergap #wikipedia

A screenshot of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red from the 19th Dec, showing 20.003% of 2,040,570 bios are about women, that's 408,183 articles.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

Have finally ditched X. Like many in the UK I’ve been shocked at the recent levels of hate speech there, and at the site’s facilitation and encouragement. I can’t in good conscience remain. Fortunately, things seem a lot more pleasant here
