Hey all! A male supporter has offered to open a community called WomensStuffSupporters that all genders can reply to. That gives men somewhere to show support that isn’t here and also make here easier to moderate.
There’s the option to X post from one to another, which is wouldn’t want to happen automatically as some people wouldn’t like that.
What do you all think of the idea? I’ll leave this post up for a while before a decision is made.
Edit: you can message me if you don’t want to say publicly. I won’t let people know you contacted me, I’d just potentially say someone messaged saying they did/didn’t want it
c/askwomen was recently closed due to inactivity, but I think reviving it in some way would be really positive for Lemmy and creates an environment where men go to that community with the expectation of getting responses from women and not each other in discussions about women, so I wouldn’t be as worried about echo chambers forming.
So I love this idea.
That’s a great idea! We’re a lot busier on lemmy now it might be worth reopening
Whoever is on that group’s mod team I definitely do not envy.
