I was referring to IRL safe spaces and support groups.
Making men's spaces online specifically has the dual problem of being attacked by both misogynists and radical feminists. It's a lot of work and a lot of hate to deal with, so they don't pop up a lot. But yes, they do exist, there's a semi-active menslib community on lemmy for example. I think that one veers way too heavily into the "us men are really awful aren't we?" feminist takes, personally; the reddit one was a lot better.
