I understood what the app was trying to do, but I also see how, if unmoderated, it can easily snowball into a cesspit very quickly. Not a huge fan of it myself.

Still, some women may have been using it to warn others of potentially abusive men, and now they’re in danger because their names and addresses are public, while Lemmy celebrated because “That’s what you get for gossiping! There can’t be a better punishment!”

The number of upvotes some of those replies got… Yeah, there’s definitely no misogyny on Lemmy! /s

Not sure if I’m allowed to link it (might be considered brigading?), but you can find it in OP’s post history!

I’ll never forget how many men here were (and still are) butthurt about the man vs bear thing, writing 5000-word essays on how judgmental and stupid women are for choosing the bear.

Or when the Tea app (the app where women could anonymously discuss about men they dated so they could warn others if there’s any danger/red flag) was breached and the women in there was doxxed, the general sentiment here was “they deserved it bc they shittalk about men.” This one was particularly funny bc usually Lemmy’s all about privacy and security, except when the bad, bad women are the victims I guess!

Or how one day ago, there was a post about why women gave out fake numbers and many of the comments agreeing, but some men still came in to say that the post was “rage bait.”

And if we point it out, we “are sexists” and “make feminism look bad” ☺️ Fun!

God, a lot of comments in that post are disgusting. “She’s still attractive to me.” “I can’t fantasize about cuddling with her anymore without thinking about bumping into her bones.”

This stuff is why I don’t comment much on Lemmy.
