For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.

    Lots of ways. If they’re interested in women-only topics then all they have to do is goto the searchbar and type “women”. And the community mods can even set the community’s post visibility to public and set the allowed commenters to approved users only. And a bunch of other possible setups too. Basically the only bad way to do it is to set the forum to public, and then tell the entirety of the fediverse they have to treat it like it’s actually set to private

        Why even bother commenting without reading other comments on the page? That has been asked and answered 50 times already. Also, don’t be an asshole. Most people here have been talking about the topic, not making snide remarks

      You’ll never get anywhere near the level of interaction making an approved list. it’s a level of trust you have in the platform to respect their safe space. And hey, I blocked them on the third post I saw, so if you’re that bothered it might be a you-problem.

      The point of forums is to make a place you’d wanna visit. If enough people want to visit that same place it’s one worth having.
