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.”
I don’t think there is a way to have real time moderation without having bs like pre-approval of messages or AI snake oil. Which I am strongly against.
I personally think pre-approval makes sense for certain communities with an additional option to whitelist trusted users
Something like automod might work, but then you’re just playing the linguistic cat and mouse game with the people who want to be shitty and are willing to test boundaries.
Yes. It does not work without severely limiting what people are allowed to say. I do believe anonymous communities don’t work without moderation, but I also believe blanket censorship is bad.
I have no good answer :(
