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

Well I can't work it, cant see any posts, can't see my followers no clicky links. Is there an idiots guide somewhere?

TheInebriati · 14/08/2019 00:09

Oh no, not guilt by association!

Harriettenightingale · 14/08/2019 00:07

"Prosecco Stormfront" that's us, kids:

Gab has quite a reputation for the sort of content it hosts.

It was entirely predictable so I am sure (I hope!) the creators of spinster preempted it and put measures in place to protect against malicious reporting and attacks etc.

NotTerfNorCis · 13/08/2019 22:28

TRA pushback already happening.

Women must not be allowed a voice!

GurlwiththeCurl · 13/08/2019 22:16

Ooh, sorry, scratch that last post. I have now got in. Will explore tomorrow.

GurlwiththeCurl · 13/08/2019 22:13

I got the confirmation email, but there are no links in it to click. What am I doing wrong! TIA

OhtheHillsareAlive · 13/08/2019 21:55

Why were you banned from Twitter @BrightonReSisters ?*

Probably for telling the truth.

NeurotrashWarrior · 13/08/2019 21:42

Different name, it's a type of dahlia... 👀

NeurotrashWarrior · 13/08/2019 21:41

I'm on!

MissLawls · 13/08/2019 20:34

Okay, scratch that last post. Was a glitch. As I suspected it might be. I'm still there as MissLawls but previous "gabs" may be gone. Oh well. Easy come, easy go. I'd still like to support it as it's by women for women. I'll still support mumsnet too for pretty much same reason. I'm not a mum but I'm very pro women.

MissLawls · 13/08/2019 20:29

Okay scratch my last post. I've just been banned from Spinster for, "abusing the reporting system after receiving a warning."

I didn't report anyone and I didn't get any warnings. My "gabs" - equiv to tweets/posts have been extremely vanilla. I hope it's a glitch but think I'll give it a miss. Ha! Miss. D'you see what I did there!

MissLawls · 13/08/2019 20:07

I have managed to change my mumsnet username so it's now same as on spinster. I was Lawlsie on here but I can't find the details to delete that account and be Lawlsie again, which is what I am in other places. Anyway nothing sinister in it! Just want continuity. I will follow all mumsnetters back over on spinster and use both sites!

TerfTalk · 13/08/2019 20:07

Why were you banned from Twitter @BrightonReSisters ? Sad

PurpleCrowbar · 13/08/2019 20:05

Oh I'm in! Excellent.

PancakeAndKeith · 13/08/2019 19:59

Just registered.
I think I understand it.

Joisanofthedales · 13/08/2019 19:49

I've just joined 😊

NotAtMyAge · 13/08/2019 19:47

Managed to register at last after several tries. I'm @sockknitter@spinster.xyz

stumbledin · 13/08/2019 18:03

hmmmmmm ... that's interesting.

The link doesn't work if Spinster detects it is a link from another web site but if you just post the link into your browser it does seems to work.

Maybe this is a way to stop any post being targetted by hostile bots.

Sorry if I am confusing anybody but I am trying to work out the value of the space and it depends on who can see what.

We signed up today, looking forward to discussing material reality without fear of being disappeared in the night. Especially as it looks like our twitter suspension is permanent

We are: @BrightonReSisters@spinster.xyz

Hope to see you there!

For some who are concerned it will be just a ghetto of opinions that will never see the light of day elsewhere, we should take heart that the 2nd wave Women’s Movement emerged from a lot of small consciousness-raising groups. These groups just let women speak their minds freely and from that simple concept the movement spread like wildfire. There’s a reason TRAs are doing everything in their power to prevent women speaking and assembling freely.
