So I just discovered c/womensstuff, commented in a thread that took my interest and got a somewhat abusive “eff off” comment from a mod with added sarcasm.

I then saw it’s “women only”. This is the only community I know that bans based on a protected identity of a person, e.g. in the UK, it’s illegal to discriminate based on gender, sexuality, religion etc.

How does everyone feel about this for Lemmy communities?

    You’re going to make an amazing, beautiful mother.

    Your vitriol makes you sound really bitter and hateful towards men. Groups like what I’m talking about strengthen your existing sexist opinions and make them more extreme, and in your mind, this hatred becomes normalised that you post things like the above.

    You have just proven why exclusive groups like this are bad for communities.

    (Though the entire response reads very gen-AI-ish)
