    Lemmy is a quite misogynistic place.

    Its often no fun to be a woman on here. They might rip you apart, if you say something slightly feminist (depending on where you say it). Made me think of leaving several times already.

      I understand if you do, but I hope you won’t. I like this place despite its flaws and I hope it won’t turn into a far right community.

      Please don’t leave! Keep speaking your mind, if enough of us stick it out we can drown out the users like Captain Asshole here.

      Block anyone or any instance you find regularly being outright misogynistic and slowly, but surely, create a better place for yourself.
