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."

It is, I just wish it wasn't. I don't want to ban people for having negative opinions, but there are a lot of people who only downvote, and for them it's the only option. There also aren't tools to easily automate it.

I mean, if they only downvote, it's kind of a mercy ban. They weren't enjoying themselves anyways.

If it would really help, hit me up, I can write something to automate it.
