    There’s a benefit to having communities for all and communities focused on the different groups, may it be specific genders, ethnic groups, generations, socio economic backgrounds and so on… The support people need might be similar in some cases, it can also be very specific to who they are in other situations…

      I’m on the fence about that. The internet seems so fractured, hateful, extremist and identity based, that it seems like leaning into an identity group is going to create the problems it looks to solve, in this case toxic masculinity.

      Irl is a different story though.

        I didn’t mention it in that comment but mentioned it in another, it would need to be tightly moderated to work, so does any similar community though.

          Yeah, I suppose if it’s really focused on positivity and support then it couldn’t be bad
