  • Yes, I’m saying it would be totally okay to hold a space for Lemmy that was explicitly for men, as long as it (like the community you’re referring to) explicitly banned hate speech. Because it’s okay to hold spaces for certain groups sometimes, especially when it’s in order to hold safe positive spaces to connect.

    If we had more positive men-only spaces, men would overall be happier and healthier, which would be a win for everyone. Unfortunately, since a lot of spaces online often don’t ban negative or extreme takes, they often just lead to worsening mental health for their members. This isn’t exclusive to men, I’ve seen women’s spaces do the same, which is why I mention they need to be well moderated and ban hate speech, again, like the community you mention here does.
