Do you check what community you're about to participate in before participating?

I dont have a ton of respect for people making or enforcing exclusionary spaces on public message boards like that. If they really wanted a separate safe space they'd have something like beehaw with moderated sign-ups and a closed door policy to people who dont go through the verification. I dont care about it enough to argue and I go with a "block and let live" strategy regarding those kind of places, but im also not about to spend time or energy policing myself beyond the aforementioned "on topic, dont be a dick" because a bunch of people intentionally chose the wrong hosting tool for an exclusionary community so they can (in my opinion) performatively other people they dont like in a public space.
Yeah! If women want their own space they should sequester themselves into a backroom with no advertising and an onerous sign-up process requiring an ID check that no one ever sees or hears about but somehow all women will know it exists because they have a psychic sense for those kinds of things

I assumed that this was standard behaviour/etiquette, though I'm realizing maybe it's actually not so common, and I want to know if I'm the weird one
If you don't- why not?

Of course I do. Mostly because I avoid communities that I know will be toxic as hell and full of chuds
This seems to be the opposite experience for many who have expressed that they don't check—they feel entitled to be present and post in every space regardless of any context

Blud sequestering themselves from men is literally the stated goal of that kind of community. So... yeah? If people want to be sequestered that does involve sequestering themselves somewhere. Maybe if you feel like those kind of places are hard to find you should engage in some praxis and spread the word about them rather than crying at me because I feel othered by a "no men allowed" sign planted in a public forum. Wanting a safe space is valid. Trying to force people you dont like out of an open space to create that safe space is not valid.

This poll needs a "depends" option.
I don't, but if something in the comments seem off (or the title of the post does) then I do. So it's about 50/50. I also usually browse All though.
That's why I think exclusionary communities should have their own instance - makes it easier to control postings and such. Especially since seeing the rules isn't always intuitive in GUIs such as Voyager.

What happened yesterday?
There was post expressing frustration with men (post|comment)ing in women-only community , surprise surprise that threads immediately infested with (misogyn|cissex)ists
-
The results of this are horrifying me
Are they surprising?

This does explain why a lot of subreddits had the pinned comment be the automod telling people to follow the rules.

I do, but just because I see it, I don't make a concerted effort to.

Actually it's better to do yoga/stretching when you get home or after you finish exercising.Probably! But schedule-wise, that's rarely feasible or desirable for me. (I swim a lot on my lunch break so can't do yoga after, and after soccer, well a lot of the time that's time for our well earned beer!)
But I'll keep that in mind!
