ReddXit: Why FDS is Abandoning Reddit (and You Should Too)

I am so happy FDS left reddit! I never posted there because I hated the whole platform. I was a lurker. Here I can finally join in on good discussion and feel the sisterhood ♥️

I wish you'd come back still 💔

So, I finally did it. I left Reddit. I was hungry and tired, so I asked for assistance, not my proudest moment, but I was inspired by people’s kindness. Then, I trusted someone and got caught up by a scam and because of my naïveté - I was accused of being the scammer. I couldn’t take it, so I deleted my account. I can’t imagine how worst it would have gotten if I stayed.

I used to follow r/watchredditdie but after being permabanned for a dumb reason (turns out this is happening to a lot of people as per youtube videos on the matter), r*ddit is officially dead to me.

Just nasty mods over there. With an attitude like that, their own mind is hell on earth for them. We don't need to worry about them getting their comeuppance.

I'm so fascinated by the timing of this. I literally just joined reddit a number of weeks before stumbling across FDS on there. Which was just days before FDS left reddit. I'm so thankful of the timing of events b/c who knows if/how I would have found you otherwise! Where has FDS been all my life.., ya know? Ironically it was another sub subtly badmouthing FDS that led to my discovery of it. So i guess not all publicity is bad? haha But in all seriousness, Kudos for creating this space and what a godsend.

Thank you all for enduring what you did for so long. I’m more than happy to switch over to a new platform, congrats on leaving your toxic relationship with Reddit.

I'm happy without Reddit. I just listened to the podcast regarding Reddxit and while the ending was fucking hilarious, I truly get it. That site is a cesspool.

As much as I admire this move, I wish I could access the old posts on the sub.

I hang out there a lot and I miss this group so much!!! Your posts ladies are what keeps me going about improving myself and not feeling low for being single.

The only reason I was on Reddit was to read FDS. It's super boring without it so I have no problem quitting it.

I'm so glad you did it! I definetely support you leaving reddit for the exact same reasons for you listed. Reddit doesn't care about women. Their only "cis-women only" subs are for porn. They don't let females to have a safe space and they enable pervert males and let them have a platform for sharing DEGRADING porn. Whole platform should be burned to the ground

Early Reddit used to have a well-deserved reputation among normal people for being a weird cesspit full of MRAs, incels, and racist libertarians. Once tr*ns politics began to dominate the site the user base shifted somewhat to the left and it gained some credibility by censoring a few (but not nearly enough) of the most egregious hate subs. Unfortunately, a lot of tr*nswomen on Reddit were hatched out of that same crop of awful sexist men who used to run the show so nothing fundamentally changed–just their misogyny is "woke" now. It's always been a hostile place for women who don't kowtow to shitty men, even with the lip service given to progressive values in recent years. Their universally histrionic reaction to places like GenderCritical or FDS only proves that scrotes on Reddit are mostly a bunch of woman-hating loser manchildren and always have been, regardless of politics or pronouns. Lately a lot of the old school MRA mindset has been revived in defense of that bloated old hasbeen Johnny Depp's latest attempt to publicly destroy the woman he abused. I can't even avoid it in completely unrelated, non-political subs. I truly loathe Reddit and the worthless men who use it, quite frankly. (Sorry for the odd censoring, my comment was getting flagged as spam for some reason and I was curious if it was due to certain words being filtered).

I was so bummed to see FDS gone right during the Amber heard trial. Would really like to hear that take. I joined this a long time ago, I’m not seeing any threads on that trial. Totally understand why you would leave just watching the trial even after the abuse being discussed and never denied only rebutted the support is by and large for Depp, including from women and even battered women. It’s sickening

Been on Reddit for a REALLLY long time. Gosh. Probably 12 years or so. I had gotten down to just FDS and occasionally curly hair or skincare addiction but without FDS I think it's probably time to finally cut the chord. It's a terrible place. Hope to see this space build out!

Please just lock all threads on r/femaledatingstrategy, so that there are no new comments, and no need for moderation, but all that content is still available.

I can understand the decision to move from Reddit to here. However, I miss the content we had in FLUS and FDS. Is there anyway we can migrate the important posts from Reddit to here? Maybe some people can get access to subReddit and copy the posts here in a separate migrates posts group if we don’t have other solution….. PS. I had saved some posts from FLUS and I think it’s a shame to lose the really good content regarding setting goals, and working towards fulfilling them.

It's been a while since I've noticed that all dating subs are flooded with absolute incels, any advice sites are circle jerks that blame women for literally anything. Like, they WANT to have sex with women but they HATE women and blame women for not wanting to be abused by shitty men? So they make up fantasies about women being complicated creatures that only look for 5% of ultrarich men just so they don't have to accept the reality! Make it make sense!

I felt so bad for many, many poor PicMe's posting on dating subs just to be insulted or harassed in comments.

Engaging with them led to them either refusing to listen or threats in my inbox. It's the threats that were ignored by Reddit that made me realize that Reddit is not safe. Not only my reports were ignored, but my comments calling these men out were removed for spam reasons. I left right before FDS left.

I was a loooooong time lurker of the Reddit. So sad you ladies left, but I’m happy you all packed your ish and left!

As someone who never used Reddit, and only found FDS a couple weeks ago, it sounds like a truly vile crazy-making place.

whoever complains that FDS is off scrottit should consider this.

FDS made scrottit money and scrottit harassed its members.

its a perfect mirror of what happens off the internet too.

women are taxpayers, women create families and raise children yet their lives are ended with almost... you could say... impunity!

before you screech that FDS bad for "abandoning" scrottit, think again. it was convenient but not for us women. how many of us have been harassed or identified as 'she's an FDS-er folks, let's send her death threats"?

it was convenient for those that liked filling the scrote's pockets with money.

we create our own spaces, men will always want to invade them. but in our space, we can push them out the door and slam it in their face.
