This is literally the only reason I’ve kept using reddit. I hate reddit, but I love the communities I’m involved in and I want to give back to them. As someone that’s at least a little recognizable, I can’t do that on the fediverse, and that sucks. I’m doing my best to encourage people to move over to this side of the fediverse, as well as continuing to use it myself (granted, more mastodon than lemmy, given more of the communities I’m a part of congregate there – anime fans, namely) but it sucks that the exodus wasn’t as big as I’d hope. But i’m doing my best to contribute to the trickle of users over to a part of the internet that does actively feel more joyful than the wastelands of other services. It’s a slow process, I just wish it wasn’t so slow-going
Cis men have hormonal cycles too, it’s just not accompanied by your body contracting rapidly or you bleeding out of your privates so men get to pretend they don’t have cycles
