This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.

Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

My guess is a bit of a mixture of both - but it at least can't be a trivial thing to implement, or else it probably would already have been added to the project by someone, it's free software and open source after all.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Not necessarily. As free and open as it is, not everyone can add to it. There have been some caught, yet almost successful attempts to insert malicious code in open source software.

Also, the contributors might be passing on the torch thinking in the same way. And far as I remember, the original devs did a similar thing by letting others add in whatever.

So I'd say that until someone says they're specifically working on it, nobody actually is.
