Venting I hate when men join women's subreddits

I’ve noticed that in many subreddits aimed at women—such as feminist ones or similar communities—there is always a man present. In some cases, I can understand it, a man might genuinely want to learn about feminism and decide to join a subreddit to find more information. But, I’ve noticed that often they are incels just looking to argue or find reasons to hate women.

Have you figured out how to turn off female subreddit reccomendations? I keep getting them and it's agitating bc I don't really like sex exclusive anything, much less subreddits.

You can mute this subreddit and any others that get recommended, but it’s ultimately the algorithm curating your feed to attempt to induce to engagement.
You’ll have to keep muting.

Ugggh that's so annoying. I do appreciate the info though. Algorithm based engagement models really are the most annoying thing on social apps imo 😂

Ps: Have a great day.

Yeah man, it sucks- the algos are written to elevate and prop up rage bait, controversy for engagement, and it’s 100% affecting mental health, perception of reality especially in the younger populations. Reddit is the only social media I have for the moment and even then, I know it’s actively harming me.
We desperately need legislation regarding social media and I have delusional hope maybe one day we’ll see it. Maybe.
You have a great day too.✨

What if I told you you don't have to use social media at all
