  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.

    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.

      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

    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 ✌️
