Oddbean new post about | logout
 I had a weirdo who was impersonating me on nostr and started sending sexualized imagery (some real images/ some synthetic) of me to any man who followed and commented. They did that for a while then they invited someone to my house while impersonating me. That was terrifying but in a way I’m grateful that it happened because I was able to see the darker side of what is possible here. 

Outside of that one skitzo running multiple accounts to harass me, it’s been absolutely lovely here. The people are great and I’ve met a ton in person now. 💜 nostr:note1wkwxgrv3l06f5aj0vrcj6sdvpz4zgxu6trv80fz6xq5hgshey06svd6kmh 
 Absolutely important to know the extent of what is going on here. Thank you for bringing this up. 
 The internet will be the internet but I like to take those experiences as an opportunity to find solutions even if it’s just my reaction gets better ya know. 💜

 Terrible experience but yes, eyes wide open best. I decided to do a search a long time ago just to see what would come up. Things I wish I hadn't seen but certainly clarified the true meaning of censorship resistance. There is always light and dark 
 Not the first lady to complain of harassment here unfortunately, as for impersonating, amethyst on android has served me well, there is an icon on the people I follow and when people in my network report others then don't even appear in my feed.  
 It can get ugly online and when it does I just step away but I will say that centralized platforms have amazing tools to navigate your experience. Nostr will be a harder sell for some folks that want a curated experience. 
 How do they know where you live? 
 I have been doxxed multiple times. 
 Idk this feels like a far reaching post that someone here is actively doing it vs elsewhere. 

Something isn't making sense but idk, just a feeling when i read OP 
 I’m not going to post pictures of me being sexually harassed etc on nostr. You don’t have to believe me and I wouldn’t need to re traumatize myself or post my doxx to prove it. I’ll bring in others that saw the harassment. 

@jb55 @Sergio @Marie @QW @AviBurra @Mallory  all saw the harassment. 

@QW and @AviBurra were so harassed before during and after they interviewed me that QW made a public statement about it. 

@ralf told the person to “fuck off” and stood up for me during that time. A few of the men on Nostr did. 

Just because you can’t imagine that happening to you doesn’t mean that it can’t happen to others.

The weirdo was trying to convince her that I have an onlyfans. I don’t have an onlyfans but I have people that harass me in this way. I messaged her privately to apologize. She was pulled in and handled it with class and grace, I appreciate that. Everyone was helpful and cool about it. 
 An Eliza impersonator was relentless to the point of obsession. My life is better for muting them. They seem like they need professional help. 
 Thank you for standing up for me when that whole thing happened. I’ll never forget your kindness in that moment. 💜 
 You are an awesome, kind woman who has been through some shit. It was amazing being able to spend time with you in person. Hopefully we will be able to again in the future. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with people harassing you. Don’t let the bastards get you down. 
 Awe thank you. It was definitely fun hanging out. It actually doesn’t bother me much or even happens too much anymore. Definitely smooth sailing on nostr. I’m happy about that. 💜 
 And I’d do it all again, and again, and again. 

Fact of the matter is our silence is their end goal. 

It was an enlightening time and amazing show. 
 It was fun. I’m so grateful that we did that. 💜 
 Maybe delete NOSTR and keep twitter… 
 #jokes 
 Actually not joking at all. Psychos on here. 
 Pretty horrifying!
Unfortunately, where there are people, there will always be creeps. No tech can fix that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
 Actually there is. It’s called a BLOCK function! Women would appreciate it VERY MUCH!
