Just making sure I'm in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I've started wondering, what's the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I've heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

Yeah I'm not sure what they mean either, and I chat to other women on here every day. Not to say they've not had a bad experience obviously but it seems far from universal.

OP if someone is being a sexist creep, smash that report button!

Can't say I've noticed anything different to most places, other than right back at the start when I called a few people out for assuming everyone was a guy it actually got upvoted, which was nice ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm going to quote it wrong, but there was a funny post on Reddit about 10 years ago that went something like "Statistically, you're probably a white guy aged 19-22 in the USA".

Honestly, the comments were hysterical because yes. Half the respondents met all those criteria, and most of the rest met 3+ of them.
