    Can we not do the Reddit thing, where we pretend we’re all shut-ins and social outcasts for some reason? I got sick of idiots making the same tired joke of “hurdur, what is sex, we’re Redditors” in every thread, and frankly I don’t want the same sentiment here.

      Agreed. The vast majority of us I believe are actually older and a bit more well adjusted. I’m fine with leaving the weird nerd incel thing behind. I’m still a nerd, but not a weird nerd.

      I saw someone posting nice guy incel content here recently and just thought nope, fuck that, and posted instead asking how people grew out of that mindset. I want us to be known for being a bit wiser, and more helpful rather than reinforcing bad mindsets.

        Yeah I’d like to think there are a lot of us who actively don’t want that live our whole lives online which is why we are opting for less addictive social platforms to engage with
