    Well…yes, it is a link aggregator, but have you ever used Pinterest? The uses for it vs reddit are wildly different…

      Yes, I have. And the differences that you allude to are a huge part why women find it attractive, more so than men.

      Pinterest itself have publicly stated this was not necessarily intentional and they wanted to bring more men to the platform.

        I am more trying to argue that Pinterest and Reddit/lemmy are fundamentally different enough that they aren’t really interchangeable.

        I personally use both, but, again, for wildly different purposes.

          I agree, but at a higher level the analogy works… like a sports car vs a pickup truck vs a minivan. Very different but at the end of the day they are all vehicles and men tend to like one of those more than others, same as women (and no, I am not implying women like minivans… my wife forbade me from getting one when our kids were little and I had given up on a cool car for the convenience of one)
