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

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.

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

Hmm.

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

testing987654321 · 21/08/2019 23:39

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

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

Is the site down?

Themyscira · 22/08/2019 13:04

Looks like it.

Halfthesky5 · 22/08/2019 13:25

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

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.

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.

chilling19 · 22/08/2019 13:40

Pancake - that is good to hear.

drspouse · 22/08/2019 18:24

Is there an app by the way?

OneEndedStick · 22/08/2019 19:47

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.

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.

Creepster · 23/08/2019 04:19

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

GirlDownUnder · 23/08/2019 05:14

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

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

SheWhoMustBeSilent · 23/08/2019 17:19

Men must have the power and control ...

this is commercial violence waged by men against women.

FermatsTheorem · 23/08/2019 17:26

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.

GirlDownUnder · 23/08/2019 17:28

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

GirlDownUnder · 23/08/2019 17:35

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.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 23/08/2019 17:41

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 Smile

Gin that’s for all the laughs!

BiologyNotBigotry · 23/08/2019 17:41

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

KatieAlcock · 23/08/2019 21:13

Jane Clare Jones
Meghan Murphy
MRKH/Clare Graham
Jacky Holyoake
Sue Veneer

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.
