I came to say I never see anything from it but its possiblie I blocked it. I block communities where I don't really fit who is trying to hang out together. Basically I try to treat every community like its an in person club. If what it says on the sidebar would have me not going to it then I block it so im not peanut gallerying it to much. That being said I have not blocked like country specific ones because I kinda want to get the perspective but if I comment I try to put something to let them know im not from thier country or such.
This is an interesting take to me. I'll preface by saying that I browse 'All', so my feed is almost wholly uncurated, and you guys might browse a lot differently than I do.
Still, why block a community just because it's not designed specifically for you? It doesn't hurt anyone to view their posts and womensstuff does have good content that provides perspective on their opinions and struggles. I feel like that's good information no matter your gender.
That being said, I don't usually post in those communities, but I don't see the problem with it as long as it's respectful and considerate.
oh its exactly because I browse all. Its just a form of curations. Again I treat it like an in person group. If a group was about women getting together to talk about womens things it kinda suggests its to do it without men. I would not be going to such a group so no reason to have it in my feed. The women in the community will likely mentions stuff from their group in other settings. Thats basically how it works in the real world. I may not go to the club but some girl I know may go or someone may know someone who does and anything interesting gets around. A lot depends on how the right side reads. If it sounds like its for a particular set of folks to get together and im not one of the particular set then I don't want to intrude.
