To whoever created this community. I feel like men need a space like this to talk about just men things/stuff without being judged. This is a great place to be yourself, and I genuinely appreciate it.
I’ve quit Reddit for good over a year ago and then found out about the fediverse, and then found out about this community recently through a random post on the “All” section. It piqued my interest, and now I’m a member who checks it out basically daily. It’s something I have always thought should exist. Possibly did on Reddit, but I never thought to check. Probably for the best, because Reddit sucked as a platform.
So, thank you and keep on keeping on, guys. You’re doing great.
I agree, thank you. This is one of the success stories.
Dull Men’s Club is just a name. If you want gender exclusion, kindly fuck off.
well there is the occasional ribbing about something being not boring enough but thats sorta a backhanded complaint.
I won’t care. I don’t think we have to follow the name of the community so seriously. That’s just me.
This is among the better communities on the platform. I just wish it forego the dull part because there’s so much I’m not posting here because of that single word.
It’s not about “dull” per se. This place is about the everyday trials and tribulations that is the human condition. Which to be honest, is often not spicy, just normal.
And if someone tells you “Oh, that’s not dull!” Take it as a good natured jibe that us guys often aim at each other. It means acceptance and belonging. You belong here. Tell your stories.
I don’t think “dull” means actual dull here. At least in my head. To me it means “just dudes posting dudes’ stuff. Don’t get mad if it’s not interesting enough”.
I didn’t either but people kept calling my posts “not dull” so I stopped posting about anything even half-interesting. I mostly put it up on DIY then.
As much as I agree with you, please be careful; this is getting dangerously exciting. I recommend reading up on the differences between MIT and GPL licenses just to be on the safe side.
You fucking creep. 😂. How far down my profile did you go. Jeez. A man can’t talk about software licenses without y’all spying on him?
I just scrolled to a random comment hoping to reveal a dull fact, heh. No idea when you made it - it was roughly two flicks of my thumb down the list.
We’re just normal men.
I don’t want to comment on that. Have you been on the Internet lately? 😂
We’re just innocent men.
Just be careful, they allow women-folk in here. Which I’m all for, dull men content spans gender and is mildly interesting to all.
The dull men’s community is the inclusive feminist space that the ladies only comm that exists solely to bait men into engaging is … it’s just the worst
I much prefer it here.
I much prefer it here too, even if it’s just lurking. This community is super wholesome. The womens comm (you guys probably know the one) is too negative for me. I just stick around hoping it gets better, but I don’t think it will. Like yeah there are other discussions, but it always seems to go back to complaining about the opposite sex…
If there was a men’s only comm that talked about women the way that comm does … it would be labeled as a incel community.
Agreed
Women are welcome. No need to be careful, I’m boring AF anyway. Lmao.
It’s the boring stuff that is genuinely interesting. I’d rather hear about boilers, homemade dog bikkies and little wins over internet drama and silly karma questions.
Did you know that monkshood
Could kill you but a “butterfly bush” is non-toxic to humans?
Just a boring but scary thought
just by touching the plant you can get poisoned by it, it is so toxic that touching the leaves can absorb the poison easily. i believed someone in india used aconitum to poison her husband to kill him.
It’s possible that the term “wolvesbane” comes from that very plant… But it’s pure speculation.
Edit: aka more than just corn/peppers/potatoes were broight from the Americas back to the “known lands”
Love this kind of content
https://youtube.com/@blackforager has a wealth of videos and shorts in a similar style!
Thanks for that, I’m sure I’ll enjoy it : )
Those “boring” things is why I’m here. I’m just sick of how shitty the internet has become. Like people say “I’m tired, boss”.
If you get a chance check out good_news, I actually created a sub for it here on Lemmy because I thought a lot of what we see now is always just bad news, but haven’t gotten around to figuring out the proper format and ways to degoogle the videos so people here would find them acceptable. Essentially they post things about human efforts and whatever they find good in the world.

(Basically reforestation, coral reef rebuilding, projects to help cities and make them better in terms for creating warming effects… W.e)
Oh maaaaaan, now I’m gonna sit for hours watching videos about coral reefs and all that fucking beautiful shit. You asshole. 😂
May every road rise to meet you
I don’t know what this means exactly, but it sounds nice. Thank you.
I mean… it’s ok ;)
Kinda dull really.
Dull wo-men also, too
The DMC is a great place for men to connect to their playful side. The official site is post after post of silly clubs and events. That’s what men (stereotypically) need to bond; we do an activity!
On the flip side, mens-only spaces can, historically, get toxic fast. But here at DMC, I haven’t seen any troubling content. I don’t know if that is due to moderation or scale, but I appreciate it and am enjoying the posts. Thanks all.
For the most part I rarely have to take any actions. Every once in awhile people get into it in the comments section or someone is clearly just lost and posting in here. A hand full of times I’ve had some posts that I had to remove.
No, people are just fucking tired, boss. They just want a moment of fucking piece. I don’t think this will ever get toxic. Lmao.
Aha. And how’s your hot water boiler now? Is it working? Any news about that?
It’s great, thank you for asking. Heated all 40 gallons in around 25 minutes. Can’t touch it and it’s not even set to the highest temp. All good now, brother, all good
YOU REALLY ARE THE BOILER GUY? 😂
I didn’t care for anything when I posted my comment, didn’t look at accounts or such, just thought I’d throw the lonely poster a dry joke about any mundane topic that had been handled here in the last days to make a mediocre joke… And you are by chance really the boiler guy? 😂
Buddy, you are great, and I wish you and your boiler all the fun you two can have. Get a room, you two, and do all the hot stuff you’re dreaming about.
I love this community.
Lmfao. What are the chances? That shit is fucking funny.
I spent weeks fussing with my water heater. I’m talking checking and re-checking the elements and thermostats, multiple videos to make sure I was actually testing them properly, a full drain to get sediment out, but we were still running out of water in about fifteen minutes and it never really felt that hot to begin with.
The issue was that it was set to 120F. I bumped it up to 125 and haven’t had a problem since.
Well,at least you didn’t need to spend a grand. So, that’s good.
Hell yeah, brother!
There’s also !dullsters@dullsters.net fwiw.
space like this to talk about just men things/stuff without being judged
those are like the least risky topics for the internet 🤔
