WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT*
It’s something I’ve seen thrown at women a fair bit. Feminazi, stripping men’s rights, feminism has gone too far blah blah. Has anyone ever accused you of it? And any women said this to you?

Are we prepared to talk about the subtle (or sometimes unsubtle) misogynist (plus intersections of transphobia, homophobia, and racism) streak on the Fediverse? I’ve gotten the weirdest pushback for relatively mild takes with such frequency I’ve come to expect it. I am not afraid to block anyone who is being a prick, but if anything I post gets a modicum of attention I have to avoid my inbox like the plague or be sealioned to death. I don’t remember it being this bad on reddit (but I think communities self-sorted better with a larger userbase).
Yep we face it all the time in our group, we get the manosphere making nasty and/or anti trans remarks or passive aggressive trolling. That’s why posts like this have to be flagged as women only so they’ve got no excuse. We’re ruthless with the ban button though so its manageable.
It’s really sad cos we’ve had so many incredibly supportive men cheering for or quietly upvoting us. I don’t remember reddit being this bad but I think you’re right, they stuck to their own areas.
I think one reason it’s worse than on reddit is because posts are more often visible on “all”. On reddit posts on small subreddits mostly got read by the people who looked for them. Here with much fewer posts and communities posts often reach “everyone”.
Ayup. The only reason they didn’t come for us on reddit was because they didn’t see us.
This is not a fediverse problem, it’s an arsehole problem
That’s a really good point. More attention, more problems
