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.
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.
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 ✌️

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…
Jhex@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

Oh I see, you are just an idiot… go back to reddit please

Honestly, I really cannot stop people from making up things I did not write and tagging them along in their heads.
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
