@thomholwerda I could say more about this, but I think the replies are doing a fine job and I'm too tired lol. I'm just curious, were they casting this in a negative or positive light? I'm ready to obliterate my initial perception of their podcast (seeing as I had not heard of it before this, it's already pretty low in my mind)

@thomholwerda by the way, as much as I know this is completely false, it still kind of stings and makes me feel like I'm in the wrong place. I wish I knew what led them to say that... I guess joining in a male-heavy region and never expanding their follower bubbles?

@thomholwerda also fuck them for giving "dominant" males the impression they can join here and make a masculine-only space, and making potentially interested women feel they will be unwelcome. By characterising a platform as wholly something, especially one as diverse as the fediverse/mastodon, _especially_ with cursory research, you only skew the platform further in that direction. I hope whichever males join here with that intent quickly find themselves ousted and left to fester in their own little unhealthy space.
