One of my most active subs on Reddit was /r/MensLib, an open, pro-feminist, trans-inclusive space for people to discuss men’s issues without toxicity and without anger or violence directed at women or men. It was a (mostly) wonderful community that fostered lots of genuine, heartfelt discussion, and it would seem to me that Beehaw as an instance would be the perfect place for such a community to take root on Lemmy.
(I’m aware of the community on lemmy.ca, but half the front page is misinformation and bad actors, and the mods are days behind in doing anything, which concerns me).
Thoughts?
Reddit as a whole was an absolute cesspool, I don’t deny that. But some of us were lucky enough, through lots and lots of searching and trial and error and weeding out of bad eggs, to find a few places where we felt welcomed and accepted without judgment.
I’m sorry that you never did!
Luckily, I think Beehaw and Blahaj are doing an admirable job, and I’m happy to be a part of it!
