I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte? (lemmy.ml)

Honestly not really that different from Reddit. My only warning is make sure to check the community a post is from that you see on 'main'. There's a couple female only communities and holy shit do they get pissed if you accidentally comment because you found a topic interesting enough to but didn't check that it was a female only community.

Haha I guess I'm lucky I'm a girl. Hope they're not that toxic towards anyone though

thanks, have a great day!

Lol, I noticed that. I suggested making membership closed/vetted if you are going to get that upset about it

They want a safe place to vent. I'm split on whether they leave it open so that guys can read/understand or whether they just like kicking out guys that try to defend themselves. Probably a bit of each. Good for them :)

they need an enemy to cohere around. so leaving it open for men to comment and vilify helps them build group solidarity.

ironically i can post there and nobody calls me out. because my comments pass as a woman. i am too feminine to be a threat or something.

I suspect getting pissed off is the point.

I respectfully commented in there once and was politely asked not to. It wasn't really that militant, but I did get that vibe, so I believe you that that would happen.
