LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days agoThanks Amazing Awesome and I know you weren't being remotely mean. We've had to be women only because we've had so much abuse from the manosphere. We really appreciate nice men though, and I know you were just contributing.

You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.

Its a good idea but I don't think we can do that on lemmy? I don't want to seperate us too much but it's something to consider

You can’t. Piefed has a few more options regarding downvotes, that you may already be aware of

I don’t fully trust chatgpt, but here are steps it suggested.
Set Community to Restricted or Private During or after creation:
Go to your community page.
Click “Community Settings” (gear icon if you’re a mod).
Under “Community Type”, choose:
Restricted – Only mods can post; anyone can view.
Private – Only approved users can post/comment; content may be hidden from outsiders depending on server config.
🔒 Private is best for a fully closed community.
Enable “Require mod approval to join”.
You can also toggle:
“Allow users to follow”: turn off if you don’t want lurkers.
“Enable posting for approved users only”.
Users request to join your community.
As a mod, go to the mod queue and approve or reject requests.

This is a full hallucination from ChatGPT.
There is no way to currently set a community to Private. The way to access settings is via a pencil icon, not a gear.
There is currently an option to limit visibility to the local instance, but that prevents anyone from another instance to participate, and does automatically grants full access to any local user.
What is possible is to only allow mods to post, but even that doesn’t limit comments, and would require every member to be a mod.
