Reddit had a lot of really friendly "femme leaning" communities. Especially the smaller ones. If you were only going to Reddit for nail painting and wedding inspiration it was actually really wholesome. Those communities tended to be 1) very well modded 2) "easy" to mod 3) not fun to troll. There's a little grey area on if someone is offering good faith critique, but if you've commented twice and neither have been positive you lose the privilege to comment. It can create a bit of a hugbox, but it's much preferred to the opposite.
I really like my experience with the fediverse so far, but I really miss the experience of those positive "femme" spaces. It's a very different feeling and I haven't gotten it from the fediverse yet. Not that we're not empathetic, just that it's a different space.
Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the insight.
