Hey all!

I'm really sorry for all the shit we had recently from manosphere types. I didn't want to say publicly but we had a glitch with piefed and couldn't ban people. If I'd warned them they'd have got worse and then we couldn't have done anything about it.Thankfully our amazing admin team sorted the issue out and those users are banned.

Really sorry that the one safe space on lemmy that women have wasn't properly safe! Thanks for your patience

As the old statement goes: Excremental matter does, in accordance with the inexorable flow of temporal progression, proceed to occur.

Especially when software gets involved.

Yeah, and shit happens, too.

OK, I was wondering. Thanks for the update, and all that you do.

You're welcome 😊

I appreciate everything you guys do. Issues will come up, I understand.

Y'all are the best. It means the world to have you and ada looking out for us.

We are really lucky to have Ada she's the best!

The sad thing is we're actually used to that shit.

But at least here when we bite back we don't get modfucked for being "uncivil"

Usually in the vicinity and in the direction of (with great velocity), the oscillating unit.

I do feel the need to apologize. Again.

I've attracted a lot of attention to this community with my two recent posts and because of that, a lot of bullshit. It's been quite difficult to handle mentally, honestly. I think it shows in my replies, how I get more and more pissed off over time. With that being said, if it's been stressful for me, than I can't imagine how stressful it's been for you girls handling the moderation and all of the other member of this community.

I want to participate in this community, I always have things to share, things to say. But I made three posts in total and each were really difficult for various reasons. I don't want to become someone that is a stain on this community and that turns this community from a chill place to an epicenter of negativity. I feel deeply responsible. :bunhdsad:

You're not a stain, not a bother, and absolutely welcome here.

Your posts did not cause shitshows. Idiot cismales who can't handle the word "no" decided to be their usual arsey selves at the same time mod tools broke.

We literally had to move entire instances in the past due to arsery, this ain't on you.

You have absolutely nothing to apologise for. The manosphere attacks anything remotely feminist and speaking anecdotally, are more likely to attack when they see the poster is a member of another subjagated group. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a voice, they're just prejudiced bullies. We previously literally had to move instances in the middle of the night without telling anyone cos of shit they pulled. You aren't the issue THEY are and we love yoir posts

Stoppp if anyone should apologize it's the people who showed such rude and disrespectful behaviour!
You are welcome here and your contributions are valid 🩷

It breaks my heart to see you being made to feel so bad for posting because some fuck-asses had a predictable little tantrum about not being centered in the conversation.

I really appreciate your posts. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Wow…hasn’t checked in for a few days. What the heck. Some dudes can’t handle not being centered.

I know... i really feel horrible for all the nice men of lemmy it's so embarrassing for them

Despite what happened (which I luckily didn't get to see fully because I found this community after the fact, with one of the posts about the topic), it is nice to have a safe, inclusive space... even if there are shitshows like these, at least I know that's the exception and not the norm.

Girl get over here for your big sister e-hug!! 🫂

You are a wonderful and worthy woman who belongs here. You are absolutely welcome 💚

Well, I feel the need to thank you! You stood up not only for yourself, but for all transfemme people here, including myself. It would have been easy to just leave, but by staying, you've made this a better place.

Thank you, sister! It means a lot. :bunhdheart:
