There are not enough women in the fediverse to maintain femme-centric communities.
Most of the ones I used to be subscribed to shut down due to being abandoned/unmodded. And they turned out that way because of harassment.
It's a huge issue that no one will address. Mostly because they will be harassed.
It sucks.
Wow, I had no idea it was like that here, that's terrible :(
Yeah.. it really is.
That, unfortunately, is why I will never suggest Lemmy to people and why it will never be a viable option for most. Maybe that will change when the absolute batshit hostility stops, but considering all the communities lost.. nah.
That's horrible.
I want to say we should start our own instance for feminists and kick anyone that acts like that. But I'm not sure what that would even look like or if it would gain traction.
I mean, it would probably look kinda similar to blahaj.zone. With a dedicated admin team, I could see it working.
My instance is welcoming to feminists. You’re welcome to create a community on the topic. I will not hesitate to kick out the jerks.
