Diversity, please?

Can we please do anything to vary the people and the backgrounds on this site? Here is a screen capture of the users. As you see, the vast majority of activity comes from only a few OP’s. This leads almost invariably to bias in what is kept, what is flagged, what is voted for. Also, as a woman, I find it unspeakably frustrating when I come to an SE and nearly everyone has an obviously male name. It makes me feel like I’m not being understood, or just being downvoted for coming from a different perspective. I know you have no control over who does or doesn’t take the time to sign up, but maybe consider being a little softer on newcomers or at least explaining downvotes when they are given so they don’t feel like a personal attack, that would go a long way to helping outsiders feel welcomed here. This is supposed to be a Christian community and while I appreciate the SE’s strength of avoiding a lot of pointless chatter, at some point, if the rules are kept too strictly, it begins to feel like an outlet for intellectualism and not a place to serve Christ, which it should be, if it is called Christianity. Also, because an expertise is encouraged, and not all denominations view college education as equally relevant, this frequently dissolves into a Catholic - or other mainstream denomination- forum. This is nobody’s fault, but there are plenty of questions out there that don’t need to fall into any particular subset of Christianity. One cannot ask a question that can be answered with simple reasoning or scripture examples and then complain that the answer is not relevant to the denomination they requested. !picture: This is a huge jump in points and an extremely homogeneous group.if at possible, this should not be such a striking unevenness.
