Anki is one of my favorite tools, and I'm planning to feature it heavily in the guides here.

I'm not saying that "marketable feminism" is directly to blame, but rather that this hyper cynical feminism™ championed by brands and celebrities explicitly does not make room for men while the larger feminist tradition has a lot to say about men's place in the movement. Given how insular gendered friendships are, I don't think we should be surprised that men think what they see on TV constitutes the sum total of feminist ideas. Especially since feminism™ has kind of sucked all the air out of the room for roughly 2 decades (the majority of the life of a man younger than 30).
No, I think you're absolutely right and I am open to suggestions.
On the other hand, there are other ways to improve discoverability. Most importantly, I think that looks like a direct relationship with other significant learning communities.
I am very much in favor of some of the things suggested (particularly dedicated threads for discussion on each new movie) and I think it would probably go a long way towards improving the real-world value of the community. I think this is particularly true as it seems unlikely that with 1.1k subscribers the community has totally filled this niche.
Do you think there is any way !moviesandtv@lemm.ee would consider some sort of deal wherein they moderate and run this spinoff community with more structured discussion, while you link to and officially endorse the community (of course contingent on ongoing good relations)? Thereby not adding any additional workload but bringing more overall value to the community members?
Yeah, doesn't seem like a ban was at all justified. This part stuck out to me:
I believe the best way to moderate a small community such as this in order to facilitate it’s growth is to be as hands-off as possible.
Except as it relates to meta-posts, huh? That's a strange choice for a supposedly community driven model.

- Break each resource type out into its own page with a list of linked resources
- Link to places where one might seek out a study buddy
- Break note-taking into its own page, where PKM systems and similar resources are outlined
- Include resources and advice for utilizing spaced-repetition systems
If you believe men are having a hard time, then feminism is right up your alley, isn’t it?
Ultimately, I believe this is a direct result of the capitalist capture of feminist aesthetics into the sort of shallow “pop-feminism” that rose to prominence over the past couple of decades. For young men who’ve only ever seen this hyper-sanitized business driven take on feminism (one that notably does not make room for them), it’s easy for them to see it as an extension of the broader trends that leave them disenfranchised. A lot of young men simply do not have any experience with the broader feminist tradition.

This is why manosphere influencers are able to amass such a large following seemingly overnight, and why they seem to have such success in accelerating this trend. A lot of young men simply do not have any experience with the broader feminist tradition.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the project itself isn't dead? They're just moving to an immutable paradigm?
This is when the feds should get involved
I don't know if that's syphilis but it sure as shit is not a paper cut
