The majority of IT applicants are straight white men, so even completely unbiased hiring practices would result in mostly straight white men being hired for IT positions. You can argue about why that’s the case (societal norms, socioeconomic factors, etc), but it has nothing to do with corporations that hire based on merit.

simply spin the wheel

That’s how the Lemmy info page (what comes up when you search for “Lemmy”) does it, and the experience isn’t great.

Before I knew how Lemmy worked I just clicked the first option it showed, which (for me) was a non-English instance. The second option was that LGBT-focused instance that defederated with lemmy.world a few months ago. Of course I didn’t know anything about either community so I just picked randomly. I went right back to Reddit until they pulled the next anti-user thing.
