@smutmag I have 5 kids ... 3 girls and 2 boys. It's very easy to teach your boys to not be creepy assholes. Dudes are just failing their kids and continuing a historically proven piss poor trend of "ITS NOT OUR FAULT" when it is. It might help that every father figure in my life pretty much failed me in some capacity and I leaned heavily on my mom and the women in my life to guide me .. but even then, I had societal experiences that luckily I had a strong wife who helped me work through and realize the dumb shit I was carrying with me. I was able to work them out before it impacted my boys. Now we just stand on defense when their friends or people around them tell them something .. and they come and ask us about it .. and we have to explain why something is toxic, creepy, or just plain bad

Me chiming in on this convo really doesnt do much in the long term .. and if its out of place or not the right spot for a dude to respond let me know I will delete it...

I just wish we lived in a matriarchy so bad lol

@joewynne I do my part to be uninteresting! I have no guilt

@Oregon_Pacifist Damn, they have 3,098,853 users (per https://instances.social/list/advanced) That's wild. I'm happy on my little 1300 users instance.

I would imagine the best option, to re-iterate what others have said, would be - if they cared about decentralizing - would be shutting down the registrations over there and requiring new registrations to be elsewhere.

I wonder what amount of those users are actually active vs. "I registered because Twitter sucks .. and then stopped logging in"
