what happened with spinster?

I personally don't like or understand Spinster's original decision to use the Gab platform for their site. Gab gained notoriety first as a reactionary alternative to twitter, popular with the alt-right, and the platform became notorious again when it was found that the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue shooter was an active Gab user. There are fediverse alternatives like Mastodon and Pleroma that seem equally viable platforms, but without that baggage. So, the decision to use Gab never sat right with me. I also think it's hypocritical that a man runs the site.

Oh, I didn't know about any of that. A man runs spinster?

Yes, he is the one administering the site. I think the female founder also claimed to have a tech background, so it’s unclear to me why a man should be in charge...

Darn, that's disappointing.
