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."

The is why dull_mens_club gives me really bad vibes. Any similar community aimed at women would be harassed into oblivion.

Any similar community aimed at women would be harassed into oblivion.

And why is that a problem with dull men's club? I mean I'm not subbed to it but it occasionally appears in my feed (I browse /all) and it seems to be just what it says on the cover: A dull men's club.

Drag has had mixed experiences on that community when it comes to sexism. Not what this post is about, though.

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
