I'm genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

Maybe we can skip naming the women's communities after chromosomes this time around. TheGirlSurvivalGuide is another good subreddit to reference as far as nice women's support content. From what I recall, that support group gained in popularity after TwoXChromosomes was made a default subreddit.

Personally, I could do without the porn. I don't think every website needs to include porn. There are lots of other places to go for that content. So much of it features abuse of women and honestly it's quite refreshing when I find a site that doesn't feature it. I really hate unexpectedly coming across someone choking a woman. I wouldn't mind it so much if the bulk of it was adults actually sharing mutual joy together, but that's not generally how it goes and I hate to see so much suffering and exploitation normalized and spread across so many different places.

As a Transfem individual I didn’t necessarily feel excluded from TwoX, but I could see how other transwomen or AMAB transfem people might feel that way.

Edit: I’d love to see Witches V Patriarchy here too.

They do have a discord but generally discord moves pretty quickly so it can be harder to participate
