    i know this isn’t my place as a cis white dude, but can anarchist.nexus be a resource for a women’s space? i’ve been looking for gaps in the threadiverse we could nurture and foster. my #1 concern lately with the makeup of the hegemony of the threadiverse lately has been:

    • eurocentricism
    • authoritarianism by default
    • black and white thinking (see above)
    • unchecked and unchallenged mysoginy

    my commitment to you as a cis white dude admin would be to stay the fuck out of the way of moderators looking to host a women’s issues community here, within reason. obviously it wouldn’t be okay to break instance rules against bigotry and such, but i can offer my commitment to shutting my mouth and knowing my role

    edit: also, i bet @poVoq@slrpnk.net and @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net from my second original home instance would be happy to have a women’s issues community hosted on slrpnk.net, i’m still figuring out what my new relationship and responsibility to the threadiverse is now, but i think just like how there’s more than one world news community, there could be more than one women’s issues community so that people have a preferred and fallback space on days like today. the one thing i don’t want to diminish in this comment is the incredible work people like @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone have done in creating a welcoming space on the threadiverse for marginalized people. i just don’t want that to be work that is only done alone. we should be collaborative towards a better, freer, world

      There used to be a women’s space on slrpnk.net (although a bit unfortunately named after a controversial Reddit community), but we could never really find women willing to moderate it longer term and the amount of dudes showing up with trollish comments became a bit too much for us admins to handle.

        The mods in womensstuff work really, really hard.

      Maybe! LadyButterfly is the mod of the womensstuff community and she does a great job, maybe we can get this info to her.

      I really appreciate your acknowledgement of some of the issues with the diversity in the threadiverse. And appreciate your support <3
