I agree that the word “inclusive” is not used correctly here.
The community’s full rules are visible in the bottom right of the screenshot with no mention of exclusivity. The commenter isn’t at fault if the mod’s rules communicate the opposite of their practice. It’s also up to the host instance admins if exclusive communities such as that are allowed.
I admit that I just assumed that this rule would be in a place where you have to be able to see it before posting.
Now after your comment I’ve looked for it and the rule has only been announced in a pinned post. I agree that this is too hard to find; not everyone reads through every post in a community in case there are any rules for posting hidden in them (espefially when that post doesn’t even mention the words rules in its title). So I agree that this one’s on the community, thank you for clearing that up.
How does a community like that stay exclusive? It’s not like it’s difficult to lie and say you’re a woman. As for asking for photo confirmation we have AI nowadays so that isn’t a guarantee.
