 Eventually I think there will be relays where girls can hang out by themselves and then there will be other relays with a moderator that try to make the women comfortable by banning some of the men from that relay. But it’ll be centralized and some things will be censored to protect the users. Which is still an improvement from traditional social media because you own your data. 
 Great idea, you just invented https://spinster.xyz 
 lol I’m a genius 
 Agree. You can put walled gardens on an open protocol, while other people hang out in the Wild West. 
 Isnt that what communities is tho ? 
 Theoretically, but they didn't limit it to the defined relay or get the moderation right, and they're rethinking the spec. 
 I see i didnt know that 
Thanks for sharing 
 It's not just interesting for women, either.

If someone wants to have an Islamic finance community, they probably don't want to spend all day muting people who just show up to scream at some Muslims and post caricatures, as that defeats the whole purpose of meeting up.
