I do find the thing about Gab being a vehicle for certain alt-right platforms worrying.

The software is a morally-neutral platform, it's up to the Gab instance owner what they do with it.

Sir if you’ve also not used Twitter, it feels bizarre lol

I found some people I recognised, looked at who they were following and kinda took off.

You can also ask here or PM people.

Have fun !

I have joined ! Just trying to get the hang of it today, and find women to follow.

I've been on Spinster loads and I hadn't noticed Yaniv despite 'her'* many posts. It seems people are completely ignoring 'her'.

I was going to join, and I truly wish them and all those supporting them all the best, but I do find the thing about Gab being a vehicle for certain alt-right platforms worrying. Those extremist groups and ideologies fill me with horror and loathing even aside from the fact I can’t risk having my social media usage associated with them in even the most peripheral manner; it’s a tiny possibility but a possibility nonetheless that I could lose my job and even my residency status.

I shall miss the voices of those who are leaving us, Jessica and Floral and hope some here will occasionally bring back their words from there.

I've added Spinster.xyz to my Twitter bio.
Though people will have to message me for my spinster username. I slightly regret not just sticking with my Twitter name but I don't think your allowed to change username once you've set up over there?
Maybe I will change it to my Twitter if I can.

Discussion on spinster re: spreading the word.

Is it really JY on Spinster? So many threads created by the person, so little response. Sad.

Thanks Inebriati I’d seen the app play decision and that was bad enough, never knew about the app for Saudi men to track Saudi women. That’s sick . Bloody hell. 21st C and we’re using tech just to better control our women property.

It often feels like they are above the law.
But aren’t they really just their own law. And they have the money and the tech might to back them up.

We don’t even know what we don’t know. Google etc control what search engines return, and what sites / info to ban, large companies run SEO (search engine optimisation), China stops its citizens leaving (using the Social Credit System so people can’t buy plane or train tickets), Saudi tracks its women, etc etc etc.

It’s all spin.

Yeah there's a real problem with with tech giants having all this power, then making warped decisions. It often feels like they are above the law. I have seen some horrendous things on instagram, twitter and facebook but often when I report them they say they 'don't violate their guidelines' yet we're not even allowed to state biological facts. The problem is the people who run them and their guidelines, which seem heavily weighted towards the rights of penises and heavily weighted against the rights of women and girls.

Just a quick reminder that the Play store that removed the Spinster app is the same Play store that helps Saudi men track Saudi women.

Thanks for that, Inebriati. It really shows it up for exactly what it is. Rancid, horrible, deliberate, pre-meditated, thought-out misogyny. These men really did read the Handmaid's Tale and think it was an instruction manual.

Just a quick reminder that the Play store that removed the Spinster app is the same Play store that helps Saudi men track Saudi women.

''Google says an app that tracks Saudi women’s whereabouts doesn’t violate its terms''
''With the app, men can input a woman’s name and passport number. They can then decide how many trips women can take, how long women can travel for, and whether to cancel a woman’s permission to travel. The app even offers real-time SMS updates that detail when women travel.''

I have also requested to join this evening.

I have requested to join - thank you for pointing this resource out to me.

The fact that it has rattled cages, google and others trying to nip it in the bud shows how needed this platform is. And it is great to feel there is somewhere where one can talk freely.

I need to invest some time and try harder, as there are too many places to go, and I want to read some books. But Spinster needs supporting to get it off the ground. I can't say I've got to grips with it yet, I've found a few favourites there, but I have a new name so I'm conscious no one knows me, and this account here is relatively new as I deleted my old one when golf playing idiots where busy doing their best to dox people and there was a security leak, I realised that the obsolete email I had used was still identifiable. So it all feels like back to square one. Anyway, that's fine.

It's looking good.

If anyone wants to find me there DM me

Google is the boot on the neck

If there are any tech women here please make yourself known to Spinster Admin and see if you can help to support in any capacity this platform for women to speak outside of the control of men.

Google and others are intent on crushing Spinster out of existence.

(Oh and me)

Can anyone recommend some women to follow on Spinster? I've only tracked down one woman I recognise from Twitter so far.

I can’t tell you how liberated I feel being able to talk freely on Spinster, it’s literally the only place and now Google Play have done that I hope more of you sign up. It needs support. MN restrict us far too much & I’m sick of walking on eggshells while MRA’s goad and harass us. I should be able to say factual things. Anywhere.

I would love to keep speaking with you wonderful women! I have learnt so much and been so supported here from members. I hope to see you there as I won’t be around here often & will dereg soon

that’s for all the laughs!

I wasn't going to sign up
Please do. Lots of us have and your voice is one I learnt from.

because I really don't need another drain on my time in my life
Umm opps, I, like others, have to balance. And I’m shocking.

FermatsTheorem if we could reach a balance between MN and twitter and get a conversation I reckon, you with our other hard hitters (Lang, Datun, Red, et al), could push is there.

I’ve complained. Into the void. I’d not hold any breaths.

I think that thing from googleplay has tipped me over the edge. I wasn't going to sign up because I really don't need another drain on my time in my life, but I don't like censorship even more.

Men must have the power and control ...

this is commercial violence waged by men against women.

Now @GooglePlay has adjudged that feminism is hate speech. t.co/XdTFK0t9u7
