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?
The legitimacy of exclusive spaces aside, how did they know you were not a woman?
Probably because they made a comment saying “as a man” or something to that effect, especially considering they hadn’t previously realized it was a woman only space
