I anticipate GC being pushed from this site eventually. I highly recommend moving to Ovarit, or even Spinster if you prefer the Twitter format. Ovarit is gaining steam.

Which of the two do you think if more attuned with radical feminism? I don't think I care for the Twitter format (as I recall it--I don't like the follow business) but Ovarit is chiefly liberal both in content and tone... very few radical voices there (I think slightly more here perhaps because no downvoting)... and some of its subs seem outright liberal. (sometime i get this ghetto feeling... esp after wide open reddit gc which was open to lurkers of all kinds, some of whom actually learned from it)

These are my thoughts too regarding not being able to reach more people, who we desperately need on our side, if we stick to all-women spaces.

I hear you, and I don't think you're wrong. Ovarit is much more liberal than the previous Gender Critical subreddit, but I believe that's somewhat to be expected. New forums need time to grow and mature. I think the lack of downvoting poses a potential problem as well. Both Ovarit and Spinster have gender critical feminists, and I'd say both have content that... misses the mark. Rather than picking based on their current state, I'd focus on which you'd like to see succeed and work to shape the tone and content. The benefit of starting over is that each user plays a bigger role in what the site becomes.

I do agree with you on your main points. The only exception I take is to your seeing "lack of downvoting" as a problem, because I think of it as a plus in many ways, but certainly in terms of radical feminism and mature thought. And that only exists here on this site, and not at Ovarit, which does offer downvoting.
