Comment on WomensStuff has moved....

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.

Good thing chatgpt burned through a logs worth of CO2 for nonsense
