While we’re at it, how comes I don’t see any incels on Lemmy? On reddit they are fucking everywhere.
I guess their problem is that they're fucking nowhere
You can find some in the bears vs men posts.
I keep luring them out by accident just by bringing up any kind of women's issue at all. Thankfully though, a quick report and they get banned from my instance real fast.
It's likely due to age. Based on the comments and posts here, it seems that most people here are older than those on Reddit. As the saying goes, "with age comes wisdom."
Try going to the comments section of one of those bear or man posts. Boom, at least two incel lemmings at minimum.
There are incels on lemmy. For example I m one in the literals sense of the term.
please don't call yourself that, people who don't have sex and incels are very different
I m may be wrong but though that it was the original definition of an incel . someone who want but don't have sex. But yeah I understand what you want to say
that's the litteral meaning of the word, yes. But "incel" is a subculture of misogynists
Shit has actually a strange history to it. At the beginning there was an online group by and for involuntary celibates. It was a place where people could come together and try to process their situation. The loneliness, the depression, etc.
Now comes the M. Night Shyamalan plot twist: The founder was a woman. They came up with „invcel“ as short for involuntary celibates. Which later turned into „incel“ because it sounded better.
So, things were going dandy and that group did some good to help people. After some time she left the group. Just moved on to other projects. With her leaving the site started to (for a lack of better words) fucking degenerate. The whole movement became what we all know and hate today.
I didnt knew that it was a woman who did the first group. I would love than invcel would be a thing again and not the degenerate (hate) part of the movement.
I felt like I've seen a couple. But yea, I have not seen nearly as much as on reddit. I think there are some fediverse rules that keeps bad things out (Nazis, pedos, misogyny, etc.) (I also don't fully understand the fediverse as well)
I'm not sure it's so much the rules. There are some really bad instances out there, most of which are defederated from the more popular ones because they're so filled with things like what you described.
The difference between this and reddit is that most of the instance admins aren't really interested in making a profit, don't have to answer to things like advertisers or media perception, etc. so they're more interested in creating a positive community for their users.
