Just to clarify: Spinster is not women-only. Anyone can have an account on there. I follow a few guys over there. the difference is that things are set up so that men can't dogpile and harass women the way they do on twitter. And women won't get banned for saying feminist things.

Oh wow I wasn't aware of that. Alright I'll be sure to give it another shot and see how the site works, hopefully the interface isn't too clunky. I heard it was twitter-like which I'm not too thrilled about but we'll see.

spinster has a longer character limit than twitter, so at least it's possible to write some complex thoughts. But yes, I myself much prefer forum-type setups. It's just easier to track conversations, highlight resources and so on.

Yeah I made an account and as soon as I saw the facebook-like feed that just lead into a twitter profile I noped the hell out. Hopefully saidit stays promising lol.
