I'd love a main site with a forum format, but we should also maintain a presence wherever we can, even Reddit. So many people, myself included, discover GC by accident when TRAs scream shut up or punch a t--- like they've won by threatening a woman in silence. Saidit's been fine mostly, the porn ban's great. The free speech aspect is a bonus as long as we're able to ban trolling. It's just kind of empty except for free speechers and conspiracy theorists. From hearsay, it looks like the hardcore undesirables are on Voat.

I dunno, I am really offended by a lot of what is being written here. There was a post I saw when browsing s/all that was about how woke white women are so easily led, but why don't they understand their opinions are unattractive. Then bemoaned the supposition that black men are probably sleeping with a lot of them now.

All the comments in response were so awful and just as objectifying. I don't want to be anywhere near people like that. Just because it isn't as bad as voat doesn't make it OK.

Just think of them as conspiracy theorists. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There's no such thing as free speech for me but not for thee.

I know what they are, and I am very uncomfortable being on their platform.

We all have our own tolerances. That's why Spinster and maybe the new site will be great because we do need some truly women's only spaces. Personally, I think the population here is much less scary than the reddit one since the no porn ban leaves more of the conspiracy theory type misogynist who's not focused on women rather than MRAs and incels. And everyone seems to stay in their own corner mostly - not always trying to shut us down - which is great to me.

Hell yes. They allowed mainstream media to call GC a "hate sub". I would NOT trust them in terms of keeping an account with them. I made another thread on this. They're up to no good. I don't trust them in terms of doxxing us or playing games with our accounts.
