The amount of condescending comments I get on lemmy is too damn high. So much of "I know better than you girl" tone around here.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

MODERATORS
Yeah it's so patronising, it's like they're an adult thinking they're talking to a child or smth. sorry it happened to you
Ughh!! I'm sorry.
It seems like really niche, heavily moderated online spaces are the only place safe from that sort of crock.
Ugh, which comms? I've found the opposite on my stomping grounds, but i'm always up for a good fight
Certain individuals are problematic I literally had a moderators come from certain a comm harass me in the comments assuming a whole lot.
It's pretty fucking bad just in general, no specific platform required.
Honestly I've stopped being super involved in the fediverse not just because I have no time but also because I realized there's so little space to just exist without dickbags.
I got a lot better at not replying to them... only to realize that I was never replying to anything. So I took a break.
I find it hard to leave the safety of blåhaj. Just all sorts of bigots and toxic people out there. Not all of lemmy, sure, but enough that I don't like looking around.
Ada should never lower her standards no matter how many toxic individuals tell her to.
Most of my time on Lemmy is spent lurking for this exact reason
100% and it does not only happen to women, but to all victims of oppression worldwide
reminds me of this post here:
But Israel, which controls the entry of supplies into Gaza, has accused the [journalists] of “serving the propaganda of Hamas”.
when reality has an anti-IDF bias
Won't someone please think of the poor oppressed straight white men? 😥
I do. That's why I'm Team Bear.
Now you have me spiraling, because I can’t decide whether I like “womenstuff” or “WomensStuff” better. I always like eating a letter, but it’s easier for people to remember the other
Women's Tuff
We is, y'know
Now that's the kind of post I'm here for! Just the right level of spicyness.
