To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

I was enjoying it, but two things are getting tiring: the lack of social sciences and humanities, and especially the misogynistic ‘tone’ of some users.

As a sociology major who is also a fan of the humanities, I totally agree with you. While I’ve always been much more of a lurker than a regular poster–even while I was on Reddit–it still seems like there isn’t a lot of content here that I feel I can really contribute to or engage with. The most prevalent posts all seem to be tech related or are just doom and gloom stories. It makes this place feel cold and bleak.

And yeah, the casual and even blatant misogyny from some of the users is appalling (I still remember that post about the career fair for women months back that got overrun with angry men).

I really wish there was a bigger psych community here.

It really feels like Reddit circa-2023, particularly the bad ways. Lemmy.world is the worst for that.
