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.”

    I have for years and haven’t seen any of the toxicity you’re talking about, except towards men showing up being right cunts. I’m guessing that’s how you encountered it, too.

      Nope, there’s toxicity there and it’s widely complained about on Reddit (including women themselves) - especially concerning the first two subs i mentioned. Have you considered you’re one of the toxic participants?

        Hint: reddit is also full of misogynists, kinda what it’s known for. People discussing the toxicity of women centered subs tend to fall into that category.

          No! This isn’t the facts. Misogynists exist yes, but there’s multiple complaints of mod and user behaviour concerning r/Askwomen and r/FemaleDatingStrategy. All you need to do is to search Reddit and you’ll see multiple complaints.

          Even women have complained. Why not try to be a bit open-minded?
