When you listen to The Verge's podcast and they're legitimately saying Mastodon is a "no girls allowed" club? And we don't want Facebook here because Instagram will bring women here?!What the fuck is wrong with these American tech pundits? Mastodon is the gayest, transest, most feminine social network I've ever seen. There are so many more outspoken, smart, odd, and downright weird women here than I've ever seen on any other social network. It's fucking great.

@thomholwerda Total crap. I’m a woman. I am much more comfortable here than I have been on any other social media platform.

@Yup_Its_Holly @thomholwerda exactly. I’ve been an obvious woman on so many social media networks (I tend to show my face a lot) and Mastodon is THE ONLY experience I’ve ever had where I haven’t been harassed, sent threats, unwelcome “flirting”, or made to feel stupid / unwelcome. I was just telling my husband the other day that even though my posts over the weekend blew up a bit here I got literally 0 misogynistic replies.

@Yup_Its_Holly @thomholwerda and I’ve also been so happy how many trans and non binary people there are on here! I had no idea so many trans women alone worked in tech and it makes me so happy looking at people’s profiles and seeing them openly state their identities and pronouns 🥹

@thomholwerda i hate that i *instantly* thought "oh, so they think it's too technical and difficult for women to understand" and that there's probably a decent chance that i was correct to think that :zerotwo_dead:

@nuz @thomholwerda Non-technical woman here. I am pretty sure I'm in the vast minority. But we are definitely here! One thing I'm appreciating is the critical commentary against crypto/tech bros.

@nuz Oh that undercurrent was definitely there. How could women *possibly* be on Mastodon, isn't that way too technical for their pretty little heads to understand?!Ugh.

@thomholwerda White cishet men tech journalist: <signs up for Mastodon, follows a bunch of other white cishet men tech journalists>. "Wow, this place is full of white cishet men tech journalists!"Me, a trans woman: <joins Mastodon>. "This is the gayest fucking shit I've seen in my life."

their job is to deploy narratives not to make sense.

@thomholwerda Corp media constantly spreads lies about Mastodon because they rightfully fear what they cannot monetize.

@thomholwerda I mean the only legitimate criticism I can imagine is that we are too white.

@thomholwerda I am literally effortlessly surrounded by women on the fediverse this sounds like a skill issue to me.

I'd rather follow one weird interesting Mastodon woman than a million vapid women influencers on Instagram peddling garbage in skimpy outfits on Photoshopped bodies.I have never joined Instagram, and I'm insanely happy I never did. Instagram is downright dangerous to (especially) women's mental health and physical wellbeing by promoting fake, Photoshopped "beauty" standards no real person can possibly measure up to.Fuck that shit right into the goddamn sun.

@thomholwerda I'm on instagram for the artists, but the glimpses I get of the "influencer" culture are downright scary.

@thomholwerda unfortunately there are huge communities on instagram that have next to zero representation here. Even with all the shadow banning bs.
