the duality of man
Well turns out that men aren't a hive mind either.
While It's good to see such activities, i have to agree with the invisible comment. It would be personal hell or at least really uncomfortable/awkward and rather unproductive.
oh for sure. it'd be personal hell for me, too lol
Huh, I can't see that comment, I wonder if .zip is defeferated with shitjustworks
In fairness I probably would also hate this particular format of interaction but if its working for people that makes me happy. I'm queer and fortunately managed to avoid many of the most difficult aspects of male socialization. Or at least got them at a much lower intensity, and am surrounded by people who welcome me to talk with them and be vulnerable with them when I need to
The comment isn't in this thread. It's on a crosspost at !longreads@sh.itjust.works
Ohhhh. Does their client merge threads? I wonder what client it is...
I can't see it either, weird
Yeah, I can see your comment, so we're federated. Weird.
