A place for those who are breastfeeding (and those who aren’t but would like to learn more, all are welcome!)

A place to swap stories, pics, tips, ask questions and find support for this beautiful, but often challenging, journey that mamas around the world embark on.

    I remember a comment in one of the reddit migration threads in the fediverse from one of r/breastfeeding’s mods about the expected fallout from Reddit’s fucking with mod tools (which is why I clicked on this post to begin with, breastfeeding isn’t a topic I’m interested in). Apparently very good moderation was needed and Reddit’s fuckery was expected to make it impossible to maintain that.

    Given that lemmy’s moderation tools are currently at vanilla Reddit’s level at best, if not worse, you’re going to need some luck (and might be better situated at beehaw, which prioritises being a safe space and defederated with lemmy.world because trolls were able to just make a new lemmy.world account when banned from beehaw communities and no less extreme but adequate moderation tools were available).

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, it’s certainly given me a lot to consider. I suppose it’s deciding now whether to be in the safer space or have the outreach to be visible to more people who need the support. I might be wrong but I’m assuming that Lemmy users currently don’t have a huge percentage of women who are child rearing at the moment. But then again, I’m here, so who knows. :)
