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…

  1. 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.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Hey all!

As you can see we've moved house. In short, we'd had enough of members being upset by the Manosphere jumping in and being nasty. If your account isnt on piefed youll see old posts in the old comm, and new in the new. If youre on piefed you can see old in the new and you can help at piefed_help@piefed.social

Advantages of blahaj are...

  1. There's no downvoting, so people can't be harassed by downvote.
  2. There's really heavy moderating, blahaj pre-emptively bans known trolls and has zero tolerance on discrimination.
  3. Ada is fantastically supportive and really cares about creating a safe space.
  4. With piefed we can transfer the comm.

Apologies for not putting it to a vote or giving you the heads up. I didn't want to give the Manosphere a chance to cause issues before we went, or try to scupper the move altogether.

There are a couple of posts that vanished in the move and there's likely to be teething problems. But I'm feeling good about there being less stress long term. Just want to say a huge heartfelt thanks to Ada for all her hard work during the move! Ada you've been amazing 👏 🤩 ❤️

Any questions?

I wonder if a bot comment in each post reminding people this is a safe space for women only (trans/nb inclusive) might help cool down any resentment or harassment from men? I don't know if piefed has the ability to sticky comments like reddit, but at these communities are still small enough that a comment won't get drowned

Edit: I guess this might be hindered a bit because plenty of people block bots

That's not a bad idea! We've found that even big warnings in posts about that don't deter the bad ones. They just want to attack us, and they know it's against the rules

Maybe a bot could even do the part of the moderators and DM a member when they first comment or post. Allowing the user to respond to the bot to confirm if they fit the community and if not then remove the comment/post. A big ask I know but it may be an option if automation is on the table.

It's worth looking into thanks for the idea!
