This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.

Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

Sadly hexbear doesn't have a ton of really active comms specific to women. Though at least they're very aggressive removing misogyny across the instance. It's been categorically less stressful posting on hexbear vs the rest of lemmy simply because I'm not then checking an inbox with replies/dms calling me 'removed' or 'it' or other charming insults.

Removing downvotes makes sense too, though I also like keeping them and using them to ban people abusing it. The voter is only visible to admins though.

Hexbear might be safe for binary women, but as far as drag can tell, they're still sexist against a few million other gender identities. Drag went to Hexbear and searched for discussions about dragself pronouns. It wasn't good.

The one that I saw was positive, and if there was some negativity, it was far less than posters over on sjw and .world.

I wasn't able to find posts drag is referring to, as near as I can tell both instances drag uses defed hexbear. Feel free to send me a link.
