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

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!

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 20:34

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.

NeurotrashWarrior · 13/08/2019 21:41

I'm on!

NeurotrashWarrior · 13/08/2019 21:42

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

OhtheHillsareAlive · 13/08/2019 21:55

Why were you banned from Twitter @BrightonReSisters ?*

Probably for telling the truth.

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

GurlwiththeCurl · 13/08/2019 22:16

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

NotTerfNorCis · 13/08/2019 22:28

TRA pushback already happening.

Women must not be allowed a voice!

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 13/08/2019 23:34

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.

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

"Prosecco Stormfront" that's us, kids:

Oh no, not guilt by association!

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 14/08/2019 06:50

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

SunsetBeetch · 14/08/2019 07:08

The TRA attacks are starting

Shows that a user could be in breach of a ‘Server Rules’

No behavior with the intended purpose to harass or annoy women/feminists
We may take your behavior offsite into account when assessing this. For example, posting screenshots to another site with the intent to harass users.

As the rules state
If you violate the rules:
You may receive one warning, and the offending comment will be deleted. After the first warning, you will be banned from the server without an additional warning. You will not be able to retrieve your data. We may not always issue a warning if there has been a pattern of unwelcome behaviour.

It might be worth reporting this tweet / user?

See spinster.xyz/about for all the ‘Server Rules’

Their entirely predictable attacks have motivated me to sign up and also provided a rich vein of material for burner emails (I am horribly uncreative at these. Even a name change takes effort)

They can't leave us alone, can they?

No, no they can't. I was reading a thread on a certain 'agricultural' site yesterday where trans identifying people were being discussed in the context of super-hero comics/films. One poster questioned why they didn't create their own super-heroes rather than insisting on transing existing ones. Another poster, astutely in my view, pointed out they don't want their own things, they want ours. They have an exciting new hobby and demand it be shoe horned into absolutely everything regardless of what anyone else wants or needs. They're like petulant toddlers but without the charm.

I tried to join but no confirmation email.

JustbeaDentist · 14/08/2019 07:53

I'll join when registrations open again, but most vitally, can I lurk there?

GirlDownUnder · 14/08/2019 07:54

When I go to the website it tells me it’s not accepting new users until Thursday Confused.

Is it me, or are other new signups seeing the same message?

GirlDownUnder · 14/08/2019 07:55

Never mind me - crossed with Dentist

JoyceJeffries · 14/08/2019 07:57

I’ll be joining. Sounds an interesting concept.

NeurotrashWarrior · 14/08/2019 07:59

is it wrong that I love the term Prosecco stormfromt
