It's important to have something like this. I feel like everything online is so angry especially directed towards men. It's just part of an algorithm and system set up for maximum engagement through rage. Rage bait is everywhere it's so hard to disengage from

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Seems like they use a lot of money for very little effect on this. I mean, 700k in government money and 60k/year budget, and they get less impressions on their content than my second favorite pokemon showdown YouTuber? Seems like they either have shitty content nobody actually cares to watch, or there's a lot of $$$ going into people's pockets at the top.
And looking at their content, it's obvious why. It's the most fucking corporate activist looking garbage ever. Like 90% of it just redirects back to their website, which nobody likes, regardless of who posts it. In addition they have a non-existent post schedule, with only two in 2023. Nobody on earth is going to organically discover and interact with their message in a meaningful way except for their own crowd of activists, who they don't need to reach in the first place. Overall, it just feels like out of touch activists who would rather keep their target audience at arms reach while sitting around talking up how great they are.
As a whole, they really need to shift to a much more human-first approach. While it's contradictory to say they need to try and be organic and in the community, it's ultimately what they would need to do to be successful. Because nobody just goes and looks for bland corporate content. There's a reason opera gx has significantly more impressions on ~~twitter~~ X than Google Chrome, despite the latter being a far more successful product.
