Hello FWRs

Has anyone signed up to spinster.xyz yet? It’s like twitter but without the misogyny. No banning for stating biological truths. See you over there hopefully

I joined. But blokes are already joining sadly. They can't take a hint that we need some space

I joined. I'm hoping we eventually get subsections as it will just get confusing.

Are they joining maliciously? Angry
It would be impossible to run a female only platform though wouldn’t it? At least they will be banned if posts are not female centric? And I guess we could block individuals. I like that we can state facts without getting no platformed. ps I’m a huge fan of yours Flowers

There will be more men trolling, pretending to be women posters, than there are women. Women can't be allowed to talk without oversight by the overlords.

One man is already complaining that he has been banned for putting pronouns in his profile.

On the plus side it's feminist controlled but it will be cat nip for fake female accounts, lurking, attempts to dox and DDOS attacks. Much like FWR.

I might join up at some point. I'm not one of life's early adopters - I only recently joined twitter. Grin

Ah, but we can call a spade a spade on spinster, unlike here! @MNHQ might want to take note, they might lose their bread and butter (posters) to spinster with their awful rules on the trans issue.

Yes I've joined, but it took me ages to figure out Twitter so I'm not sure how I'll get on Blush

I don't think it's practicable to ban men on an anonymous platform but you can choose to ignore the male voices.

Does it resemble Twitter then?* I've never been on Twitter, I hate the format. On the other hand a site that bans idiots and their idiot pronouns does have a certain appeal............

*I'd check it out but am at work just now

I'm a bear of very little brain, as I can't figure out how to use it Grin

I've signed in, and now can't see how to find anything.

I think the interface needs to be a bit more user-friendly for it to take off. :( If you sign in and can't find threads or conversations it's not great.

I presume there are no threads and it's like twitter. If there are threads I havent found them

I've never been tempted by twitter so I'm not sure I'll bother. Curious about the choice of name, doesn't sound very appealing ... maybe that's intentional.

Spinsters were cool. Women who could earn an independent living so didn't have to marry for financial security. We need to reclaim the word!
