I used to lurk on GC, found out about the bans, and now I'm here

I'm not even a feminist but GenderCritical and the affiliated subs were some of the only places actually talking about how trans nonsense was and is invading every possible space. It is tiring, it is exhausting, it is bullshit. Went on to reddit on a lark, saw the news, and heard about the migration to alternative spaces so I'm here now. Also inb4 r/conspiracy gets banned too. Reddit is apparently only good for anime and video games.

You're completely right! Reddit has become a meme of itself XD

Conspiracy will never be banned, they want to be able to lead independent thinkers down fruitless rabbit holes.

WallStreetBets is kinda entertaining.

I had never heard of GC until users started moving over here due to the ban. But welcome, let's hope your thoughts are allowed to be shared here for the duration of the sites existence.

Even the porn on Reddit is going downhill.

Those were the only sane people left on the left.

I was a lurker too. Think that was the first place I found some sane discussions but I had to search for a long time.

Unfortunately sticking around radfem spaces too much made me start thinking more extreme, and I try to stay kinda balanced and not spend hours online lol. For my own sanity and for the sake of remaining open to other opinions. So I hadn't been on in a while. I can't believe it got axed :/
