After seeing so many people feel so ostracized I wanted a community they could feel welcomed in. This is I hope going to be a positive male-orienated space. No alpha male Peterson bullshit, no sexism, no putting down people, this is a space for men to bring each other up and vent their issues they would otherwise be judged for to people who will understand and build them up rather than bring them down.
I hesitated to click on this but your description looks great. Best of luck.
I don’t blame you. All that’s available nowadays for men to reach out is absolutely inundated with horrible horrible people and ideas. This is meant to be a space where those people aren’t allowed to fuck it up for the normal people who just need someone to talk to.
Oh shit, thank you, I knew I forgot something
Probably some overlap with !mensliberation@lemmy.ca
That is first and foremost a feminist community, so the focus is not on men. That’s not what we need.

Feminism and men/masculinity are mutually inclusive.
MensLib is a place for men and men’s issues—it’s literally in the ‘about’ section.
They are not inclusive, though it is what they want you to believe. Feminism is about women–it’s in the name. Also, when you read the founding documents of feminism, there is a strong anti-men stance. This is simply not the right lens through which to view men’s issues.
And having experienced MensLib on Reddit in the past, there men’s issues were always made subservient to women’s issues. And the draconian moderation made sure no criticism of feminism was allowed to stand.
To really discuss men’s issues, a space is needed that is free from the ideological shackles of feminism.
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality
2k subscribers, so at least posting there about the new community can help
