Lemmy’s userbase is majority men. Yes, there will always be toxic manosphere types, but for every one of those there are hundreds of men who are ready to support each other, who need to be heard, who struggle with depression, who want to learn what healthy masculinity means in this day and age, who want to decondition from toxic masculinity, who need help to recognize that they may be a victim of abuse, who need to know that they are not defined by their height or salary, who want to learn about fatherhood, and so on.

I’m not a man, so I don’t feel qualified for this. But I’m hoping that someone can build a community on Lemmy like r/menslib and r/guycry back in reddit. These communities offered perspectives that would have otherwise remain unspoken IRL because of the pressure men face to present themselves in a certain way.

I don’t mean to pressure you into making this community. I only mean that if you do, I’m sure it will be greatly appreciated. The toxically masculinity trolls are far out numbered by normal men who are just looking for a safe place to talk without judgment.
