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."

Blahaj.zone has disabled downvotes, so at least that part can't be weaponised against folk on our instance.

As for the rest of it, yeah, lemmy is better than reddit, but it did get a lot of users from reddit, so its still closer to reddit culture than I'd like. But, it's also got a lot of better aspects than reddit ever did, and hopefully that trend will continue

I think it would be interesting to see how the experience of women pans out by instance. I can imagine it being a fundamentally different experience on blahaj or beehaw, when compared to more generalist instances like .world

Which is a problem, IMO. Maybe the solution is to have a women focused instance and I would be all for it. But also, that's a little bit like India having a women only train because the men are too rapey on other trains. It allows safe passage for women for now but doesn't actually fix or address the problem of rapey men.
