I’m not pointing at the post this links to, or the reply I’ve linked to, but the surrounding context, including replies from the moderators telling them they’re not welcome.

But seriously, I haven’t seen this problem (since Wolfballs died), and it’s probably because I rarely look at All instances or scroll to the bottom of huge threads. Or maybe .ml has blocked where these bigots hang out? I really don’t know, just guessing here.-

    Coincidentally enough, since you mentioned it, a chunk of that thread was about the existence of a women’s-only comm on lemmy, I didn’t know it existed before either, and I am still not sure where exactly it is, but as could be predicted as surely as the setting sun there were numerous men complaining and/or raging about how they were politely asked not to comment there. To the credit of some, there were a few comments from men saying they accidentally commented there once, were asked not to, and happily obliged.

    Edit. Seems to start here if you’re interested:
