Just went there. Top post is politics, next post is about a touchy feely doctor, there's a few about body image, more politics, a reminder to not use period tracker apps because the USA government is literally taking women's rights over their own bodies away, dating advice, more politics.

Looks to me like a women-oriented subreddit for discussing women's issues, just like it always has. Could you point out some of these 'femcels' there to me? Should they be praising the Trump administration, swooning over pervert doctors and sharing Andrew Tate screenshots instead?

Maybe a lot are a bit angry there but I think they've got every fucking right to be angry right now. Don't you?

Immediately thought of this:

“I think something's wrong with me. I make friends, then suddenly I can't bear to be with any of them. Seems like that other me, the cheerful and honest one, went away somewhere.”

If you think twoxchromosomes is bad because women there had the nerve to talk about their bad experiences, then actual feminist subs must've terrified you.

I feel like fucking rioting now lol. Hopefully one of these days there's enough of us here that see red over this shit to do exactly that.

Based on what I've learnt, what's holding Lemmy back is that a large amount of users are fucking man babies that brigade any women-oriented communities and drive women in general away from this place, while admins just sit back and allow them to. The Lemmy mouse needs a fedora.

Fuck yeah! Only two episodes out so far though. And 20 minutes a week for this show is a bit of torture. Especially without the random discussions and memes to keep you going until the next episode.

Thanks for the enlightening thread. And that puts a dampener on the enthusiasm that I was feeling for this place. Not that I should be surprised or anything.

I might misunderstand how things work here but it sounds to me like if entire communities are getting bombed by downvotes, then it's the various admins across instances that are allowing this to happen. And it puts a bit of a dark cloud over this place now for me.

Very disappointing to find out the real reason why women-oriented communities aren't exactly thriving here. But not surprising, I guess, although I was expecting better from a platform that seems so generally left wing. Can't even expect the men here to stomp that shit out. And now I'm waiting for someone to come and respond something along the lines of "not all men" while not addressing or confronting the issue or taking any steps to push for change.

Edit: aren't admins able to see who is downvoting? So basically the admins of your instance are just sitting back and allowing certain people to ruin things for others in communities that don't concern them?

Yeah, documents itself isn't bad but you still end up with a bunch of stuff just being chucked into the root of your user folder, despite the fact that folders like '.config' exist. Personally, I like my 'home' space to be just my files, things that I've put there myself, without random programs making new folders and leaving dotfiles lying around. I'm a bit of a neat freak on my pc, way more than in real life. Personally, /home is just another /etc for me. My shit goes elsewhere.

50 years from now, considering that the USA elections changed nothing for Palestine either way (or maybe even made things worse for them under Trump now), the history books won't be talking about these 'brave' heroes that sat out the vote for the sake of Palestine. They'll be talking about all of the apathetic, zero empathy, selfish children who were happy to sit back and watch LGBTQ+ people and other minorities get their rights and dignity stripped from them because it didn't affect them personally.

I'm not the moderator type myself but I would definitely be there upvoting / lurking / throwing in an occasional two cents. You're actually making me consider a rewatch now lol.
