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

And that we are able to correctly call them men, without getting reported and deleted

I still almost can’t such is the NLP I’ve absorbed on MN. I will change my programming though 💪

Creepster · 23/08/2019 04:19

I understand there is an android app.
I know nothing more than that.

OccasionalKite · 23/08/2019 02:07

I very much appreciate that on Spinster, we are able to describe men as men, no matter how they may identify. And that we are able to correctly call them men, without getting reported and deleted and put on the naughty step for a while.

I really appreciate that on Spinster.

I've seen a couple of men, TEA types attempting stealth, claiming to be "GC!" (Oh men and their overuse of emphatic, "look at what =I= just said!!" exclamation marks eh?).

But they're like a nail sticking out of a floorboard. Because they only bother to act out their own perception of "We're all girls! together here! GC! Feminist!". And because clearly none have listened to or read enough women to really get a good grasp of how women communicate. They're male-socialised, so...you know..not as observant of detail as are women.
Bloody funny to see them perform though. And of course they crack a tanty when laughed at. So it just gets funnier.

Is there an app by the way?

chilling19 · 22/08/2019 13:40

Pancake - that is good to hear.

PancakeAndKeith · 22/08/2019 13:34

Alex has just posted to day he rebooted the server and that fixed it. I don’t think it was anything suspicious.

NotTerfNorCis · 22/08/2019 13:31

I think the Twitter thing is being stirred by attention-seeking TRAs. I don't suppose they'll back off, but once people have found their feet on Spinster they'll hopefully start to ignore them.

Halfthesky5 · 22/08/2019 13:25

It's still down, hopefully it'll will be back up soon.

Themyscira · 22/08/2019 13:04

Looks like it.

chilling19 · 22/08/2019 13:00

Is the site down?

stumbledin · 22/08/2019 00:30

I'm still lurking on there (having signed up with an obvious name Blush ) but so far I am still not that excited by it.

Maybe it depends on what time of day you log in, as a lot of women seem to log in first thing for them, so never interact with those further east or west of them!

And also, have not seen any evidence of MRAs or TRAs. Maybe that's because the reporting and moderating is really fast.

But I am glad it is there. It is a really positive statement about women not letting male controlled spaces rule how and when we speak.

I think I would find it more interesting if Spinsters just stopped referring back to twitter, and endlessly dragging in what is going on there.

Maybe Spinster should say - okay you've had a month to detox from twitter, but as from now, just let it go and get on with building this as a pro woman space. Wink

Oh if only we could work that out....

RedToothBrush · 21/08/2019 23:34

Why do you need to infiltrate if you are a woman?

Hmm.

It's almost as if... Oh what was that again...

2Rebecca · 21/08/2019 23:31

The TRAs tend to be obvious on GC sites because they have the views of TRAs. They come on here and try and cover it up with a female sounding user name and sound as though they are competing in the woke olympics in an "I'm a disabled single parent WOC so my views trump yours" sort of way but are always obvious.
If they go on Spinster and sound just like us then they may end up becoming GC, there's some evidence that if you keep arguing a particular point you are more likely to end up believing it even if you didn't initially.
This is why it's important for us to be able to call a man a man and refuse to lie just to be "nice". If you keep calling a man she you end up thinking of him as she.

Aspley · 21/08/2019 23:30

@TerfTalk
That is inevitable.
I just don't get it, why cant they leave women alone?
Like seriously, why not?
Spinster (tbh) is a niche group of feminists wingeing at each other, eve my interest is limited. Why would they possibly care?
The TRA have Stonewall and all public institutions onside, why do a few feminists scare them so much?

testing987654321 · 21/08/2019 23:26

If anyone ever needed any proof of how little they actually empathise with women it's those Twitter comments MsF1t has posted.

They are not remotely interested in using persuasion to convince women of their cause.

TerfTalk · 21/08/2019 23:17

No doubt they will make sock accounts, post a load of genuine transphobia, screenshot it, and then post it on Twitter alongside "look at all the nasty TERFs!"

They used to do that here.

Aspley · 21/08/2019 23:17

Oh and despite their obvious inadequacies, I hope that those most obsessed with spinster sign up under their own names. What are they afraid of?

Aspley · 21/08/2019 23:14

Don't be scared by the hot air by the most inadequate of the TRAs. Prior appears to be particularly inadequate.
I am registered on a dummy email and unknown username.
The other thing you can do is post there as if it were twitter (but banning less likely). They can't prosecute anyone for posting on a website if they don't post anything prosecutable.
Moderate what you post (say it in an educated way) then what can they do?

TerfTalk · 21/08/2019 23:10

Those three are pathetic.

BlitheringIdiot · 21/08/2019 23:07

Please report to Admins for deletion if screenshot unhelpful, sorry.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 21/08/2019 23:03

I'm in!

Sticking with the Alice in Wonderland Theme and taking on a feline identity.

Now to find you lot Grin

MsF1t · 21/08/2019 23:03

Sorry, haven't got time to rtft but, just in case someone has not already seen and shared this... Hmm
