I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?
I’d be worried about how other women would find it if it was private. Lemmy is already really small.
By invite.
Not everyone who would find the group a good fit advertises their gender.
Maybe an offshoot private community from the main would be a good idea though.
