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."

Hexbear might be safe for binary women, but as far as drag can tell, they're still sexist against a few million other gender identities. Drag went to Hexbear and searched for discussions about dragself pronouns. It wasn't good.

I wasn't able to find posts drag is referring to, as near as I can tell both instances drag uses defed hexbear. Feel free to send me a link.

The one that I saw was positive, and if there was some negativity, it was far less than posters over on sjw and .world.

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
