Hi, just a reminder that if you're not going to allow debate (or men, for that matter), per Saidit rules you have to enable the option to remove your sub from the frontpage.

I saw this post from New, so you may have already done so, but I wanted to send a quick reminder just in case.

Ok thanks, I believe I fixed it.

I'll share an experience for example, I had on a different sub; BlackPillFeminism back when it was on reddit. I saw a thread full of trolls there making fun of women who are domestic violence victims. I confronted the trolls. In response, I was banned from BlackPillFeminism on reddit.

I found this strange. It makes it seem like the blackpill subreddit, including at least one or more moderators there, must have been infiltrated by male trolls pretending to be feminists.

I haven't commented much about that before.

In BlackPill's defense, there is a new BlackPillFeminism subsaidit, at s/bpf . Perhaps this new BlackPill sub is an actual honest feminist sub without corrupt/male/troll moderators. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

But there's also an alternate, questionable BlackPillFeminism subsaidit, at s/BlackPillFeminism. According to others, this particular BlackPill sub is run by males pretending to be feminists. And I believe it, because of my experience with BlackPill on reddit.

That doesn't mean everyone in BlackPill is a Larper. There are and were probably many BlackPill sub subscribers, who are actual feminists and women, mingling by mistake with all the infiltrators.

Yes, BPF was rife with male larpers. I just saw a post on s/BlackPillFeminism calling women in porn all sorts of horrific insults and blaming them for being sexually abused. It seemed like a bitter male writing sexist BS against women, word for word. Thank you for your warning, I had no idea how many males were on that sub. It explains its higher subscriber count. I sadly already posted some radfem analysis, hopefully the trolls don't flood my comments. Thanks for making this new sub. It's still hard to tell who is a troll and who isn't, but I have to have good faith that there's a place radfems can discuss things openly.

Yeah, and I saw that post you made in ppf, before it was removed. I didn't see anything wrong with it either and found it strange that they would remove it. I wonder if the pinkpill sub should be given the benefit of the doubt, if the other mods on there happen to be real, and if they eventually take care of the situation. Or if they're present, since sometimes life is too busy to spend much time moderating a sub.

It seems like the other mods might not even be active anymore. A lot of people who joined this site for feminist subs initially ended up leaving for Ovarit or Spinster. I lurk Ovarit and I love it, but I wish they would talk about more non-trans radfem issues too.

[–]Portrynial[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I guess I'll keep this sub up, at least until/ in case the other mods at PinkPillfeminism return.

There are also other places for radfem discussions besides here, such as: -Pinkpillfeminism.com. Female only, where they are voice verifying new members (but some people who joined earlier were not voice verified.) The person who verified me had a female voice. The forum is not visible to the public

-Spinster.xyz. Which is designed like Twitter. They don't vet you to join the site, but they moderate against male trolls. The site calls itself "A women-first social network. Feminist, federated, and free." Posts on there are not really visible to the public, unless you link to a specific profile. But they can be visible to other social networks connected on what they call the Fediverse.

-Ovarit.com. A publicly viewable forum, where you need an invite code to join. Mostly women, but does not have a women-only rule. I haven't seen male trolls on there though.

  • s/gendercritical which is mostly on the topic of sexist trans activists. Some occasional posts are about general sexism outside that topic.

Until ppf comes around? You are perfectly invited to post any topics related to pink pill feminism as long as you make it coherent and not a ruse to rant about male bs like the obvious troll who made an account similar to mine lol. Or aren’t male. You don’t fool any one

What a troll

There is absolutely nothing mature about your behavior here, lol come to the sub to call me mentally ill like some grandpa insult, you call that mature? Lmao

[–]Portrynial[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I was having a mature discussion about this. I saw the post that you removed from the other user, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, you could have tried to tell your side of the story if you wanted to. Instead of reacting like you are now. And also suddenly banning me from PinkPillFeminism just now.

I was not specifically against you when I created this sub. None of us know each other or know who to trust. I just wanted a space to keep Pinkpillfeminism going (without any abusive moderators.) Not just about you, but for everyone else.

I think some of us wonder if you might be a Larper, actually, because of what you did. And because of the way you're behaving right now.

I'm not a male. I invited anyone to meet with me on zoom yesterday, if anyone wanted to vet me a bit on that.

Of course your opinion sounds most valid if you zoom chat with me so I'll know you're a woman. Optional. Maybe I'll schedule more zoom meetings another week if I have time.

This is kind of risky only because there was a fake femcel subreddit on Reddit that was set up by males who pretended to be femcels. They set up Discord chats with new femcel members to 'verify their identity as a woman,' but only took the info from the femcels and used their pictures to dox them. The Internet is a scary place.

[–]Portrynial[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

True, maybe voice chat is the thing to do. I've never done this before, so I don't know which people to trust or what to do about it. I'm figuring it out as I go. Of course nobody should give out personal info.

At least I can also show up for anyone who wants to know the creator of this sub is not a larping male. But I know trolls could also show up to a zoom meeting.

Voice chat is a great idea imo.

[–]ReignOnYou 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Which sub was it?

[–]Portrynial[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Do you mean, which Femcel subreddit is she talking about?

[–]ReignOnYou 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah
