it's called pinterest
Edit:
PS: Ok so it looks like people here are just as bad as redditors. I was answering the question in the Reddit caption of this post. Pinterest has been known to be an alternative to Reddit (as a link aggregator) which attracts women a lot more than men.
This is a KNOWN thing, check this 10 year old article from the people managing Pinterest stating as much
Of course women are welcome here, there is no question about it. Does it matter if there is an instance for women? I don't even know, I know women who love stereotypical male stuff and vice versa. I assume anyone, male, female or anything in the spectrum, can browse around and collate their favorite subs

Not funny, not ok. Women are just as welcome here as anyone else and your comment is exactly why they are asking. “It’s a joke” - nope don’t even. Be better than this.

it wasn't a joke
pinterest is an link aggregator just like reddit and geared towards women
of course women are welcomed here, no clue how you get otherwise from my comment

Well..yes, it is a link aggregator, but have you ever used Pinterest? The uses for it vs reddit are wildly different...
-
Yes, I have. And the differences that you allude to are a huge part why women find it attractive, more so than men.
Pinterest itself have publicly stated this was not necessarily intentional and they wanted to bring more men to the platform.
-
I am more trying to argue that Pinterest and Reddit/lemmy are fundamentally different enough that they aren't really interchangeable.
I personally use both, but, again, for wildly different purposes.
-
I agree, but at a higher level the analogy works... like a sports car vs a pickup truck vs a minivan. Very different but at the end of the day they are all vehicles and men tend to like one of those more than others, same as women (and no, I am not implying women like minivans... my wife forbade me from getting one when our kids were little and I had given up on a cool car for the convenience of one)

Your comment can be read in multiple ways
"It's called pinterest. Go there instead. This site is not for you."
or
"It's called pinterest. This thing you are interested in already kind of exists. Just thought I would let you know."
The people downvoting had the first interpretation, I assume.

Honestly, I really cannot stop people from making up things I did not write and tagging them along in their heads.
I was answering the question in the picture of this post:
Do you know any Reddit alternatives aimed towards Women?
The way I worded it "it's called Pinterest" came from me thinking this was a well known thing which apparently is not for many lemmy users.
Check this article which is 10 years old, where Pinterest representatives acknowledge this demographic divide and want to correct it

You’re the joke, got it, moving on.
-
Oh I see, you are just an idiot... go back to reddit please

You need to calm down
-
You need to sit down and learn
-
Nah im ok

I don’t agree in this particular instance, but in general I think you’re right - all this shit is really getting to me. And I always appreciate a good call out. Going to touch some grass, hope everyone has a great day ✌️
