Good read! Thanks for sharing your work.

Yuck, disgusting reddit behaviour.
I'm glad to report that my experience here in the fediverse has been quite plesant as wimmin folk with an interest in discussing games. ! I have to give a shoutout to my favourite comm [!soulslike@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/c/soulslike) and our wonderful ~~overlord~~ mod [@v4ld1z@lemmy.zip](https://lemmy.zip/u/v4ld1z) and the folks over at the community for creating a cool and welcoming environment for everyone.

Thank you so much for the shout-out - means a lot to me. Trying my best 💜 I'm quite surprised that in all the time moderating the community, I've barely, if at all, had to remove comments or posts due to toxicity of any kind, let alone misogyny or other forms of sexual discrimination. And that's quite telling for a video game genre that's so full of elitist #Gamers™ who bombard you with toxicity for playing a game a "wrong" way or having a different opinion about which game occupies which spot in an arbitrary ranking. Although, these issues primarily accompany reddit's toxic neckbeard community, which we're rid of for the most part
