yep it's pretty horrible. any time gender issues are brought up there's dozens of comments saying "what about the men" and completely missing the point

EDIT: Look at the responses to this comment for the proof.

100%

It’s really bad and lemmy is really in denial.

Sexism here is much worse than it was on Reddit.

It feels like 2008 Reddit here sexism wise, except instead of Ron Paul libertarians tooting their horns everywhere we have heavy tracked vehicle enthusiasts.

I did hope lemmy having a left leaning culture would help but it does not.

Try making any post that focuses on situations uniquely or disproportionally experienced by women and you get mostly “everyone has that why think about women” or “what about men” or “men have it worst” responses.

unfortunately I think this is the current answer, at least on Lemmy.

They also ban real users instead of the people literally calling their gender "dragonfucker" and "attack helicopter"

There were a bunch of users who got angry about these users mocking gender expression and then when they told the trolls to fucking stop Ada banned them

The blahaj admins are trolls

I can’t think of a single online space ever that has catered to trans men. It’s always infinitely easier to just act like a cis dude 99% of the time.

I guess there is Hudson’s Guide lol.

There seems to be a majority of males even in that community though

Niche? Bruh, they're half of the population lmao

I am disappointed but not surprised. The attitude of men here reminds me a lot of default subs in Reddit. People tend to be more civil, but there is so much "but what about men?" when talking about women's issues or belittling women still. Business as usual on the Internet, but I can see why it would cause women to avoid Lemmy.

I haven't been back to Reddit, but it makes me miss the small niches where I didn't see that as often.

A community like that would hopefully ban misogynists who go unbanned on other communities.

Local feed I guess. I wouldn't trade my french local feed to another despite the abillity to subscribe to the community that made it.

There's a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

Thanks!

reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It's a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it's not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.

The fediverse could really use that energy.

I definitely think it should be an inclusive, not exclusive space
