I signed up and they suggested I join the Fempire community.
I have to say I had high hopes for Imzy, but my experience was less than positive. I found it really quite slow and heavy (hopefully this has improved). I also found that the signal to noise ratio was really poor when I was a member, and a lot of the content was deeply polarising. That's not to say that one particular set of views are good or bad, but that it tended to reinforce the same views and ideas, creating a bit of an echo chamber filled with noise. (FWIW I've seen this to a lesser extent with Voat too, but that's an entirely different kind of animal).
I think the left/right dichotomy is going to exist for a while, especially in anywhere that supports political or politicised discussion. HN did it's best with a no politics week, hopefully that will take some of the heat out of what's a very emotionally charged time for many.
