You seem like a bit of a dunce but thanks for helping me find a new community!
Feel free to make a positive men's space on Lemmy explicitly banning hate speech if you'd really like to support and uplift other men :)
So many "marginalised" women throwing insults around like candy. Maybe these people feel they're marginalised because they already hate men and men avoid them?
You miss the point. A "positive men's space on Lemmy" would explicitly ban women. not "hate speech". Maybe you seem like a bit of a dunce?
Spoken like someone marginalized people are right to avoid. Not every community or post requires you to share your thoughts, particularly if you lack the perspective they want to hear from.
It's one closed door out of an infinity. Move on and don't worry about it. I don't knowingly go into black or Christian or women or queer spaces and share my perspectives on their issues. My point of view is represented to those communities incessantly every day. They will be fine without our contributions.
Holy shit, this guy actually thinks that women marginalize themselves. The mental gymnastics behind that thinking are insane.
Yes, I'm saying it would be totally okay to hold a space for Lemmy that was explicitly for men, as long as it (like the community you're referring to) explicitly banned hate speech. Because it's okay to hold spaces for certain groups sometimes, especially when it's in order to hold safe positive spaces to connect.
If we had more positive men-only spaces, men would overall be happier and healthier, which would be a win for everyone. Unfortunately, since a lot of spaces online often don't ban negative or extreme takes, they often just lead to worsening mental health for their members. This isn't exclusive to men, I've seen women's spaces do the same, which is why I mention they need to be well moderated and ban hate speech, again, like the community you mention here does.
