Comment on Why are male social workers so different?

  Most of the female-centric Lemmy communities are now abandoned. I’m sure the hostility did not help that. Don’t blame them. I’d never suggest Lemmy as a space for women.

    Damn, that's fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

    Edit:
    Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

    Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

    A real life example of "Stop scaring the hoes"

    I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.

      “Stop scaring the hoes”

        "Scaring the hoes" is a catch all term for when the things men enjoy in private or with other men create environments that are inhospitable to women.

        I've always heard it in a comedic context, said with nearly the same tone as when Eustace berates Courage the Cowardly Dog.

      TwoXChromosome is also dead. Witchy-type instances are abandoned, too. It’s so sad, because I’ve had the most lively and supportive conversations in those places.

      There is a grave problem with the Lemmy ecosystem system if women do not feel safe / comfortable using it.
