The inherent risk to joining radfem discord servers and how the FloridaFeminists discord server seeks to protect its members:
Joining any online space carries risk. You carry the risk of meeting unsavory people, of harassment, and in the case of radfem spaces: doxxing.
I am sure this blog has Floridian followers, orbiters, and “cryptos” who shy away from joining the group precisely for those reasons. I want to assuage some of those fears.
Ladies who message me on tumblr or other social media sites can be assured that this blog will not “out” you to your followers. That is why I don’t publicly answer asks from ladies requesting to join--I always contact tumblrs through the instant messaging feature.
The server has a strict vetting process. I interview every candidate for membership to ascertain her whereabouts and her motivation for joining the group. Members are not pressured to reveal personal identifying information in the server. Members who go against the spirit of the server are removed.
Minors are allowed and welcome on the server but will not have access to meet ups and 18+ channels as a safety precaution.
Ultimately, I understand every Floridian woman is taking a risk by messaging me to join the group. I do not take that lightly. Ensuring the safety of every member is my top priority. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to message me or send an ask.
And as always, if you’re a radfem in Florida, message me to join our discord server for female friendship and collective conscious raising!
