Blahaj Lemmy Meta

Hi, I'm u/MayaFey_ from reddit, I am on the mod team of /r/badwomensanatomy.

We were part of the failed protest, and frankly we're done with spez. We're leaving. We have a poll on our subreddit to choose between lemmy, discord, and raddle, and lemmy is winning by a large margin so far.

So if lemmy wins, the question will present itself... which instance will we move to? As a mod team, we'd prefer an instance with open registration to lower friction for our reddit members making the transition. And we're also looking for a place that is not accepting of misogyny or violence against women. This is me sending out feelers to figure out which instances would be a best fit and most accepting of our community.

Some details about us:

Badwomensanatomy is a community about... bad women's anatomy. Users will reproduce images they found elsewhere (like, a snip of a facebook post, or something from a poorly drawn manga, for example) that state incorrect ideas about anatomy or incorrect depictions of anatomy. Sometimes these posts can be NSFW, or misogynistic, but the idea behind the community is we call these things out and discuss the ways they are ill-conceived and what the correct anatomy is.

Our sub is very pro-queer and pro-trans, and not tolerant of terfs at all. Though it doesn't specifically relate to queerness or transness, so I'm not sure how good of a fit it will be.

So far, about 40 users have responded to our poll and it's been 5 hours. Our sub has over 500k subs, but being realistic, only a few dozen or a hundred at most will make the jump. That said, that's still a lot of users given how small lemmy is at this time.

If you're receptive to this migration, and the poll confirms the community's choice to go to lemmy, we can create a community here and start migrating. As a representative of the mod team, I am willing to chip in to the running costs of this instance to compensate for the increase burden.

Let me know what you think.
