#partially because I got harassed en-masse by c*ps fans on twitter in... like... 2017 or something

Do you know any Pens general discussion discord that doesn't have much crossover with Reddit/Twitter users? I only started following hockey this season and I'm looking for a nontoxic Pens fandom space to discuss team stuff without toxic masculinity souring the experience for me :(

ah, no, I don't really do discords! (not typically, at least. I use it to chat with a few friends and I'm using it for @summerofsid, but I'm not really personally too interested in joining a chat room with strangers, so I don't participate in any!)

if you're trying to get away from #ToxicMasculinity, regrettably, I really think your best bet is tumblr.

#I get you though! #I like lurking on reddit for news/league stuff #and I use twitter to follow beat writers #but I stay out of their ''fandom'' spaces for fandom activities. #partially because I got harassed en-masse by c*ps fans on twitter in... like... 2017 or something #which permanently soured the Twitter Fandom Experience for me* #and partially because tumblr is really the only place I feel in indulging in fannish stuff like RPF. #twitter might work if one does a locked account and follows other locked accounts #(thus weeding out who can see their stuff) #but in all earnestness (and this is where my asterisk from earlier comes in): #*I don't think twitter is a good platform at all. #it's full of nuclear takes and accelerates inflammatory takes and incentivizes drama #and one might be able to avoid all those things if they put safety measures in place #but I really just find tumblr better for that these days. #anyways this is all to say: I totallyget your reluctance around twitter and reddit because they constantly commit a penalty of Too Many Men #I hope you find a discord or fandom space that suits your needs!
