I can't believe I had to deactivate my Threads account *again*.

In addition to being yet another anti-social media platform, I was proven once more that it's just a cesspool of sexism (towards both men and women, mind you) and intolerance. I can't even imagine how bad it is now, post-election.

I quit Threads too, it just became another Twitter to me. Had high hopes for it at the beginning.

Can't say I blame you. Whether I permanently delete it or not remains to be seen, but for now, it's staying deactivated and my life is better off without it.

The girlie misandry there got so extreme, the book discourse was in overdrive, and now I see nothing but rage posted there. Here people seem more thoughtful and less inclined to fight all the time. It was getting so stressful!

Good, so I'm not the only one who picked up on all of the misandry. Granted, I saw plenty of misogyny, which is equally uncool, though I've never seen any sort of social media platform where women are routinely making posts negatively targeting men to the frequency that I saw on Threads.

Yeah, not excusing misogyny either by any means, but I started to feel like I didn't fit in there as a nonbinary person who's not a Swiftie who has struggled with friendships with women...

I've typically vibed better with women than men for pretty much my whole life, so seeing women cluster bomb all men to make themselves feel big and/or get attention is royally insulting and hurts like a drop kick to the crotch, in the same way that I get miffed when men put down women for no reason.
