    I find this website equally as anti-feminist as Reddit. Doesn’t really surprise me since this website is more male than Reddit and also full of Reddit refugees.

      It’s incredibly anti-feminist and misogynistic. It really feels like early Reddit days and 4chan here more often than not.

      We’ve got men coming in this very thread crying misandry because of a somewhat critical tone towards men who aren’t feminists.

          Thank you! I’ll definitely add a few of these communities to my block list. I haven’t stumbled on too many out and proud conservatives in the wild here, but some of these leftist men are still carrying a lot of sexist baggage. This will still help a bit!

          Too bad huge boobs is spammy lol

            To be fair I’m a lesbian so I def don’t mind the boobs lol, but yeah it’s a bit too frequent for my feed, haha.

            What also helps is being on an instance that is explicitly affirming and welcoming to gals and queers. I often tongue-in-cheekishly use queer and furry presence as a canary. They tend to be super chill and whenever they’re in some space, it’s often a sign for me that it’s welcoming.

            The instance is important, because some defederate with a lot of the bad stuff by default. So that helps.

              It’s hard to parse through the difference in instances when first joining lemmy tbh. I ended up creating my first account on world and it was really off-putting. Lemmy.today is a little closer to what I’m comfortable with and it’s being hosted in a state that I consider a good neighbor, so I’ve stuck around so far.

              Definitely have considered making an account on blahaj.zone

              Similar sentiment here as a bi woman hahah

              That’ll just be a community that’s visited on its own ;)
