Hi WomensStuff
We’ve gone well over 2000 members which is amazing and I’m loving seeing all your different contributions. We have a new moderator the lovely @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone You may know Dandelion from posting here, an absolutely brilliant addition to the WomensStuff team.
I’ve let other applicants know via message, had some great people apply. ❤️
She’s certainly got her work cut out for her though lol. Scrolling through a couple of posts from the last few days, I see a LOT of ‘removed by moderator’ comments. It’s not really funny but it’s been kinda making me laugh anyway. I wonder how long it’ll take before people know about this community and get it.
Yep it goes like that some days. We’re pretty ruthless with it because we get manosphere types coming in trolling cos we’re women (ugh) and trans inclusive (oh no!).
I don’t know if it’s just my imagination but I feel like I’ve noticed a couple of people around Lemmy in general over the last couple of weeks that aren’t here in good faith. That’s the thing with these right wing types. They took over Facebook and Twitter and turned them into dumps but that’s enough for them. They have to follow the rest of us to the spaces where we go to try and get away from them.
I’ve said this multiple times now but thank you (and Dandelion) for what you’re doing here. It’s a dirty job dealing with these assholes so that the rest of us don’t have to. And it seems like this community is definitely growing now. About a month ago, you were posting 99% of the content here and looking at it now, it’s busier than ever!
Thanks mate it has been a lot of work and dealing with a lot of assholes! I’ve been blessed with most people that post here there’s some great people
Yeah of course it’s not all bad. Most people are here in good faith. And hopefully once these early waves of manly men are dealt with and blocked etc, it’ll get less and less and not so easy to notice all the removed comments (although you’ll probably never be 100% free of it).
Yep… there is sadly an endless supply of men wishing to mansplain and complain about how women oppress them!
