Just to be clear, the Ruqqus community is not us and not at all related to our sub.

I looked around on there several weeks ago and it seemed to be radfem-aligned, unlike us. Not sure why it's gone now.

Saidit is better. Ruqqus never took off and the owner botched the start.

GenderCritical was taken over by a trans troll too.

Can you tell me why exactly the owner of the ruqqus botched the start of their platdorm? I don't know so I would like to.

He never managed to get it working smoothly. It was non-functional for a long period of time; you couldn't even like or comment anything without receiving an error. People waited and hoped in the Discord for it to work out, and the guy kept streaming himself trying to fix it, but he didn't seem to know what to do, or which service provider to use, or how to work out the back-end. I saw a lot of criticisms in the comments on the stream from more tech-savvy people. The huge crowd of people in the Discord grew smaller and smaller.

Many weeks later I checked the website and it was still having errors. Then when I finally checked again weeks later, GC and PinkPillFeminism had been taken over by trans trolls on a practically dead website. I gave up on Ruqqus permanently then.

You can't launch a website like that. All the hype disappeared. Just look at Google+ and how it failed because the launch was so delayed.

I swear to God we need an LGB-only internet discussion site.
