Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?

Lemmy has an undeniable woman problem that it carried over from Reddit. I've lost count of the number of pathetic blokes that I have blocked on here for anti feminism.

Youre absolutely welcome to join Blahaj zone. Our wonderful administration team (both of whom are women) bans misogyny whenever it comes around to our communities. The mods for our main communities share a very aggressive moderation policy.

lemmy.blahaj.zone has a decent amount of women and both their admins are women, it's not a "women's space" as one would describe since everyone is welcome there but it's probably the closest thing one would describe as an instance "by women for women". I am obligated to mention that it is a queer instance and that many of the women there are either trans themselves or strongly supportive of trans people, and do not tolerate transphobia or anti-LGBT sentiment (including refusal to support LGBTQ people) at all.

Community-wise there’s !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al

The comments here make me very disappointed in our little corner of the internet. If anyone wants this but doesn’t know how, neither do I but I’d be happy help.

Lemmy,blahaj,zone is run by Ada, who is a woman

This seems like a very good niche for someone willing to do it. Problematic accounts could get a site-wide ban instead of each woman having to ban someone herself.

Even if not, you can create one :3

Create one!

Pardon my ignorance but what would be the point of that? You can sign up on any instance and participate in any women's communities. It's not like there's any way to verify the user's gender anyway.

Community wise we have !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al its a women only community by women for women.

I want there to be a witchesvspatreiarchy here, but I'm a dude and it'd be messed up if I started it.

But like what even is a social media for women? I wasn't aware the ones we currently have were for men

its kinda sad how one of the biggest women’s community on the lemmy/mbin side of fedi is !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone…

i mean, it’s a great community, but yea.

Depends. You looking for a woman's space...or a terf space?

hexbear is heavily transfem and bans aggressively for misogyny/transphobia. Spending some time there when their recent domain crisis defederated from the rest of Lemmy was actually quite relaxing

beehaw.org aspire to be nice, friendly diverse and safe. But they're more towards nice, not women. And we have lemmy.blahaj.zone for queer folks. To my knowledge, there isn't a place aimed towards women. Maybe heehaw is the closest... Still not really a fit.

You could go ahead and also ask in some of the women communities, see how they get along here on the Fediverse.

it's called pinterest

Edit:

PS: Ok so it looks like people here are just as bad as redditors. I was answering the question in the Reddit caption of this post. Pinterest has been known to be an alternative to Reddit (as a link aggregator) which attracts women a lot more than men.

This is a KNOWN thing, check this 10 year old article from the people managing Pinterest stating as much

Of course women are welcome here, there is no question about it. Does it matter if there is an instance for women? I don't even know, I know women who love stereotypical male stuff and vice versa. I assume anyone, male, female or anything in the spectrum, can browse around and collate their favorite subs

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

It really comes down to this: if you want your own space for particular interests, you should create one and find likeminded people to populate it. Just waiting for it to magically appear isn’t going to work. Be assertive.

almost all the subs that "are women" are basically astroturfed by men, or some of them are male users posting as a "woman"

Lemmy is aimed at pleasing all of humanity.

Asking for a women-centric flavor of any site is parallel to asking for a version with less men. If you're implying there is a difference to the interests of both, I'd love to show you the Grey's Anatomy sub.

This idea is pretty cool, i hope they will succeed to achieve that. Imo, we lack diversity on the forumverse except maybe mastodon.

It would provide an additional security layer, another governance. They could also benefit a lot from local community and can check vote, email, ip...Other have already mentionned good example with blahaj, beehaw...

On the other hand, it will render the instance more visible.

On my main instance, jlai.lu, i think we don't manage well sexist speech. They are moderated, we do our best to explain to our users what's wrong and slowly change them but we don't have the same sensibility as women.

Men explaining women...So we probably missed lot things.

Like women only or hosted by women? Based on the selfhosted poll I’m guessing these is a 5% there is.

how would they stop men from participating?

TW: crude and insensitive joke (hopefully the spoiler tag works lol)

ETA: lemme know if you need this taken down. Sometimes the intrusive thoughts win

!It's funny, blahaj.zone is full of pussies, and .ml is full of cunts, and yet there's no dedicated space for women!<

The femcel channel need more people if you like that type of humor
