Me normally: Freedom of expression is important. Not all media has to be ideologically pure or reflective of reality

Me after seeing all the weird ridiculous things porn makes men believe: burn it all, burn it all!

Thanks Ada for your response and your willingness to welcome us in. I'll confer with the team and see if we can achieve consensus.

We've discussed this possibility a little bit. All I can say is we're going to do our best to read the room and do what's best for the community. We'll probably have more discussions internally before we make the final call.

edit: I think the big issue is there isn't a lot of role models for this kind of migration. It's been a clusterfuck for everyone from start to finish. I don't think any of the other mod teams expected the protest to fail this bad.

That's equally true. I guess the main apprehension is that it'll confuse a lot of people who's first experience with lemmy is "register on this other site, then put the first site into the search bar so you can sub". Ultimately we just want to ensure it's not a shitshow.

This is certainly true, and I'm aware of this. But our community isn't tight nit and passionate as others - we fear that if we go somewhere with closed registration, very few people will make the jump.

 

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.

F to pay respects. It broke again.

I'm in the same boat, would love a solution to this.
