The video above features Aba and Preach as they review a tiktok by a trans man on his experience in being treated as constant possible threat due to now being perceived as a man. There’s some jokes here and there but some decent discussion of the differences in how men and women are perceived in everyday life.
The video above dives into some of the challenges in developing and administering experimental drugs that can be used as birth control options for men as the main ones available to men are condoms and vasectomies which isn’t a lot. From the video summary on youtube:
“Condoms and vasectomies remain pretty much the extent of birth control options for people who produce sperm, and both have problems. So why is almost all hormonal birth control aimed at those with ovaries? There have been some successes targeting the biological feedback process for hormones that regulate new sperm production, but progress is slow.”
The video above is an interview with a researcher named William Costello who’s part of a wider team of researchers taking an empirical approach to understanding incels and the problems they face. Whereas the usual pop-sci understanding of incels starts and stops with the misogyny in their communities. The empirical focus gives us better results as it reveals the mental status and situations incels themselves are dealing with and why modern upbringings are failing them.
You can find their research here and I highly recommend giving it it a look: http://www.psychstudies.co.uk/sisnet.php
The video above is a documentary highlighting the story of a man whose untreated mental health problem and a punitive justice system resulted in him getting life with no parole in prison after getting rejected and turned down from programs that would have helped him recover.
Small criticism, I think your first article on “The redditor’s guide to how Kbin works” is the one packed with the most useful information for any newbie migrating from reddit or any social media so it deserves a sticky or some kind of mechanism to make it the first thing that pops up imho. Otherwise, awesome work. I thought the Artemis app was still in exclusive beta so it’s good to hear it’s available on the app store now.
The video above is a discussion between Louis Rossmann, a philanthropist and a programmer who use and advocate for the usage of open source software. The connection between all three of them is that the philanthropist heads an organization called FUTO that gives grants to people developing useful open source projects and Louis Rossmann (I believe) is an employee of that organization and the programmer Aiden is a recipient of that grant. The conversation goes over the complication in trying to monetize and fund open source software that’s typically expected to be free all around.
For those curious about the FUTO organization, you can find some of their links below.

So a team of you just collectively stomping/T-bagging a random dinosaur Skeleton?
Download the offline version maps of wherever you plan to stay/travel to. You can do this via google maps or OSM maps, at the very least it’s helped me keep peace of mind when out and about.

I think in order to actually attain that egalatarianism from a male perspective it requires a strict pro male POV on our side in spaces like this because the default in a lot of mainstream conversations about gender related issues and problems start from the framework of feminist theory invoking ideas like “male privilege, oppression” which prioritize the oppression and issues affecting women first and foremost and I don’t think a framework that excuses phrases like “KillAllMen” should get a free pass in spaces like this.
To be blunt, I don’t care if incels, red pillers, feminists or right wingers wanna comment in this space so long as they abide by the rules of civility and attack ideas and act in good faith when our ideas go against theirs and challenge them.

The video above is a long essay on the experiences and research the guy in the video has put into understanding the modern dating situation men have to deal with when it comes to dealing with conflicting ideals on what a proper approach looks like all the way to how consent works in the modern dating world but from a man’s POV. I’m curious about the guys in this community, does what he describe in the video mirror your experience? even if it doesn’t I’d be curious to hear why and how.
I like this idea of promoting media that isn’t actively trying to tear us down or perpetuate caricatures of us. Shout out to the Castlevania series on netflix. A series that has deep and complex male characters of all types who evolve and go through their own journeys throughout the series.
Outreach and exposure are things I worry about a lot in terms of having this community on lemmy. Granted it doesn’t have to deal with the whims of random admins doing god knows what to the policies, mod permissions and api prices but the one thing I’ll give to reddit was the cross exposure across subreddits was unparalleled, it was a simple autocomplete /r/InsertSubredditNameHere and that ease of click through was a major factor in getting the word out to people who had similar outlooks to LWMA but may not have known to look for that kind of phrasing or name.
In my ideal future, I hope this community can one day become it’s own instance with it’s own funding (patreon maybe) so as to make a self autonomous space for us to discuss media, research, personal issues and where we can come together.
Out of curiosity, what did you write or post that got you labelled as “promoting right wing views”
From what I saw in the last 2 weeks it was the main mod here /u/a-man-from-earth who made a case for everybody to come over to kbin and then he left the mod team of his own accord while still reposting some content from here onto leftwingmaleadvocates. It was some other mods who were left in charge and then closed the subreddit so laying the blame for the closure of the subreddit at the feet of a-man-from-earth seems misguided to me since he literally can’t since he left the mod team before the closure of the subreddit.
