I often browse Lemmy by All, and can end up commenting on a post without realizing which community it’s in, let alone actually navigating to the community and checking their rules. I don’t think it’s a practical rule, and I abide by the community’s decision, but I wouldn’t personally have a problem with men posting here in general. Might be easier to have specific posts that are women only so it’s written right there in the post. I think the only alternative is to create a bot with an automatic reminder on each post.
I get that totally. On the whole people want it to be women only, and the last few days have shown there’s sadly a chunk of lemmy men that want to troll and cause issues. If we allow men it’ll be hard to stop the trolls and moderation problems will soar. The bots a great idea how do I create it?
On the one hand, I am like you and don’t have a problem with men posting in general.
On the other hand, I love the way the rule actually creates a sense of a women’s community here, even as a lot of men continue to participate. I like feeling like I can assume the person I’m talking to is a woman too.

Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about how bots work.
Haha me neither
