    Honestly not really that different from Reddit. My only warning is make sure to check the community a post is from that you see on ‘main’. There’s a couple female only communities and holy shit do they get pissed if you accidentally comment because you found a topic interesting enough to but didn’t check that it was a female only community.

      I respectfully commented in there once and was politely asked not to. It wasn’t really that militant, but I did get that vibe, so I believe you that that would happen.

      Lol, I noticed that. I suggested making membership closed/vetted if you are going to get that upset about it

        They want a safe place to vent. I’m split on whether they leave it open so that guys can read/understand or whether they just like kicking out guys that try to defend themselves. Probably a bit of each. Good for them :)

          they need an enemy to cohere around. so leaving it open for men to comment and vilify helps them build group solidarity.

          ironically i can post there and nobody calls me out. because my comments pass as a woman. i am too feminine to be a threat or something.
