Spinster.xyz

I am using a variation.

could we get into trouble legally for “hate crimes” in terms of police involvement or other legal actions? Probably. TRAs know no bounds. But at this point I'd almost welcome it! Self emplyed, of a certain age, living in Stixville... my IP address usually comes up as somewhere 30 miles away... so good luck to them!

@MNHQ might want to take note, they might lose their bread and butter (posters) to spinster with their awful rules on the trans issue. ONe of the reasons I have added it to my daily round. AS WELL AS NOT INSTEAD OF...

And you and your ilk, sweetie, are one of the reasons I have done so! If you think that merely by adding a dash of emotional blackmail you can cow most posters here you are sadly mistaken!

Personally I deal with someone far more well versed in it that most here seem to be.

I'm also using a different name over there. Not worked out how to use it properly yet, but I could say that about MN after 18 months. It does feel much freer there than here, no minding your Ps & Qs.

I'm not using any of my previous MN or Twitter names. I want to start afresh!

I’m not using my Twitter name no.

Are people keeping their twitter names or going for total anonymity and new names?

I’m not on twitter, but stalk lots, so I reckon I’ll work out Spinster when it re-opens.

By biggest issue will be remembering when I’m using MN that I can’t correctly sex someone or I’ll be banned 😂

Who is she/he?

It works fine on my iphone without a special app

I've not seen much TRA disruption. I see it as an addition to other forums. It's handy to be able to talk without remembering that correctly sexing someone is banned or having males trying to derail threads and set women against each other because they prefer being bullies to getting on with their lives.
I don't hang around trans websites trying to stir up trouble, but then we also don't protest at their meetings, if a few women sit in chairs in the audience at their meetings they're evicted. Most gender critical meetings are happy to have trans people come and listen and ask questions as long as they don't try and stir up trouble and try and be the centre of attention.

notterfnorcis same. I think they warned it would have a pre-opening, then close again to sort the traffic/servers/nerdy stuff.

It's a big job to set something like this up. Can't wait

I was about to join but see it's been closed to registrations for the moment.

Is there much disruption on there from TRAs?

none of us are leaving Mumsnet behind to the best of my knowledge

I'm certainly not.

Unsure why people seem to think we can't do more than one thing?!

I joined - I think it's fab. Hopefully they'll sort the capacity issue shortly.

Similar format to Twitter and so lovely to be able to speak openly.
I won't be leaving Twitter or MN, but it's great to have Spinster alongside them.

Is there an app version for phones?
Install Tusky for Mastodon and type in Spinster.xyz when prompted

She's been given her blue tick so good to see these banned people back again.

Looks like Megan Murphy has joined! Please be the real one!

Ive got the same name as on twitter. Dont care if I'm identified on there. Only sex is real (everything else an illusion) to paraphrase Carol King

I've joined – with this username, which is different from my Twitter one. I'm liking the huge sense of relief everyone's expressing at being able to tell the truth about sex and gender without being banned/deleted.

I'm accessing it from my phone, not on an app (I've not actually checked) but it works perfectly fine in google chrome.

Closed to registrations now, but I've created a new burner email to use when it opens again. I've never been on twitter, it never appealed, but I'd like to give Spinster a go.

This has just reminded me, there was a thread on twitter saying that spinster was (apparently) reserved for unmarried women aged 23-26. After that you became a ....Thornback!:

I've not verified this information with historical records so if there are any history or feminist scholars around let me know if this can be verified. Then we can all officially name ourselves with our correct denominations!

I joined earlier, but struggling to work out how to do the avi to make it the same as my twitter one so people know who I am!

I'll get the hang of it.

Is there an app version for phones? It's currently opening in a browser.
