I personally don't think it matters much at all, except in channels that specifically identify that way. However, I am male, hetero, cis, so its possible I'm just clueless.

Identity in general doesn't matter much on forums (as opposed to microblogs, like Twitter or Mastodon). Forums are focused on topics rather than people, and what is said is generally more important than who says it.

What is a superuser in Lemmy? What can it do that's so special? I don't think I've ever encountered one.

Same as it was on reddit, but slightly more self-righteous about it.
