I left Reddit to get away from that, but unfortunately there still seem to be a fair number of users here that also are convinced men are the real underclass, victimized by everything.
I think I mostly run into it on meme communities. Is that just the destiny of all meme communities? To be overtaken by MRAs? It sucks because I genuinely like memes, but I don’t like randomly being smacked in the face by misogyny all the time. Any other communities I should avoid?
Any insight or tips appreciated 🥰
If you’re talking about the greentext and 4chan-y sort of meme communities… I mean… it’s 4chan.
Like, the latest post in !greentext@sh.itjust.works is about James Bond and mixology. And then at the end it’s ableist.
I’m not sure whether that community is run/modded by people that think “it’s fine if it’s just jokes” (which I don’t agree with, for the record) or if their justification is a bit more convoluted. (Maybe something like “everyone knows to expect this community to be filled with bigotry of every single sort, but at least if they come here to this community, they’ll see such stuff in a community/climate where few would try to pass that off as a good/normal thing than if they went to 4chan for these memes, and people probably won’t stop viewing them even if they’re not available here.” Though, then again, the comments section of that community is pretty bad as well. At least far worse than most of the rest of Lemmy as far as I’ve seen.)
But yeah. Any community that’s mostly dedicated to 4chan content is gonna be pretty well dripping with every sort of bigotry you can imagine.
Are there other meme communities that have these issues, though? I can’t say I’ve noticed any, but would love to know at least some examples.
I’m not talking about that but that’s very true in general about 4chan lol
Someone else will have to provide examples, like a few other commentors here I’ve decided it’s probably best to just move in and block those communities!
